🌟 Job Opportunity: Pony-Mad Helper & Children’s Riding Instructor 🌟
Are you passionate about ponies, love working with children, and enjoy variety in your day? We’re looking for a cheerful, reliable, and hands-on person to join our family-based setup to teach riding to kids and assist with ponies, driving, and general household support.
🐴 About the Role:
This is a varied and rewarding position for someone who loves the outdoors, animals, and children. Your responsibilities will include: • Teaching riding to children (mostly beginners and intermediates) and fun pony activities • Driving duties (e.g., school runs, errands, pony transport) • Light home help (e.g., driving and occasional babysitting)
👩🏫 Who We’re Looking For: • Confident around ponies and children, with a calm and friendly manner • Experience in riding instruction (formal qualifications are a bonus but not essential) • Happy to muck in – literally! – with all pony care and household tasks • A full clean driving licence is essential
📍 Location:
We are based near Naas & The Curragh in Co Kildare, Ireland so a love of country life is a must!
⏰ Hours & Pay: • Part-time (mostly afternoons, so there is an ability for someone to have another morning job or studying) • Some weekend availability required • Competitive pay, depending on experience • Shared accomodation in a nice house nearby and use of a car
⸻
If you’d like to spend your days surrounded by ponies, kids, and countryside life – and no two days ever quite the same – we’d love to hear from you!
