Free working holiday in Western Australia

Aug 26 | 2011

Chess Moving is Perth is offering working holidays to experienced porters, packers and drivers.

Have you ever fancied a holiday in Australia but could never afford it?  Well, now’s your chance to spend time in stunning Perth and get away from the British winter, and get paid for it too.  Too good to be true?  No it’s not.

Chess Moving in Perth, Western Australia is offering working holidays to experienced porters, packers and drivers, this winter.  To qualify you will need to be eligible for a Working Holiday Visa: you must be single, between 18-30 years old and hold a current passport from one of the qualifying countries*. If you fit this criteria, have an excellent working knowledge of the moving industry, speak English and are prepared to spend several months in Western Australia, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

The moving industry worldwide is seasonal: summer is busy, winter is less so.  This applies just as much in Australia as it does in the northern hemisphere.  When work is short in the north (from November to March), Australian companies need experienced people.  In the past many UK companies have agreed exchanges of staff with their Australian agents to help solve the problem and give enthusiastic workers the opportunity to try something different.

Chess Moving will supply return flights, shared accommodation, uniforms and safety boots - and you’ll get paid too.  The company is a family-run organisation that has been established since 1967 and specialises in domestic, interstate, international and office relocations.

If you fit the criteria and have an appetite for adventure, find out more by contacting John Cant, Chess Moving Perth, at JohnC@chessmoving.com.au.

*Qualifying countries: Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.

Instead of being under the weather at home, you could be enjoying the weather down under next winter.
