Gadigal Butler EOI
Please read through the information below to better understand what’s involved in the work of the Butlers. If you’d like to express your interest in an upcoming vacancy on our Gadigal (Sydney) team, click the button below to apply!
The EOI form will take you through 18 questions, most of which are simple to answer (a few require a bit of narrative, but it’s not as laborious as responding to key selection criteria). You’ll also be invited to upload a CV if you have one (don’t stress if you don’t!).
EOIs close at 12pm on Wednesday, 2 October. Training will commence in the week of 15 October.
Are you our next Butler?
Does your penchant for tidiness cause friction in your domestic relationships, because no one’s standards are as high as yours?
Does home organisation, sanitisation protocol, and folding 10/10 perfect towels get ya on the horn?
Do you get a deep sense of satisfaction from a flat lay, and/or shiver at the prospect of regular exposure to kinky ones?
If some or all of this applies to you – or if you’re just a Hedon House stan with cleaning skills – you could be our next Butler!
Butlers keep it all ticking along at HH. They are responsible for tending to the House between each booking and provide an essential link between the director and the House. They ensure that every guest enters the space to a blank canvas and provide essential care and custodianship to the House. They also get daily opportunities to try to piece together WTF happened last night, based only on the end result. Cheap thrills on tap!
Core aspects of the role include:
- Cleaning and maintenance of the House after each guest booking
- Managing laundry and waste
- Setting up the House for guests according to their requirements
- Providing other site-specific support as negotiated (e.g. stacking firewood, updating stock numbers, errands, etc.)
- Energetic tending of the House
- A small amount of guest communication
Core skills, qualities & experience:
- Experience delivering cleaning services
- Organised, efficient and able to problem-solve on the go
- Clear and timely communication
- Systems-oriented
- Experience with, or keen interest in learning, sanitisation and infection control cleaning protocols
- Hawk-eye attention to detail
- Competence working with digital scheduling, invoicing, meeting and task management tools (we currently use Notion, Google Calendar, Google Meet and Whatsapp in our daily work)
The work of the Butlers:
- is generally conducted in short 1-2 hour shifts between 10am and 4pm, plus one weekly 6-hour shift.
- can be time-pressured and requires the ability to prioritise dynamically and make decisions under time constraints.
- is scheduled up to 4 months in advance, and subject to change as bookings shift.
- is compensated at hourly rates between $37.50 – $50.00

We have found that Butler work is best suited to folks who:
- Work as sole traders/freelancers with other clients or income sources in the same or other fields
- Are not already working as PAYG employees (the tax man gets you hard on that second gig)
- Are comfortable working in shorter bursts and open to working multiple shifts in a single day
