Island Living in Fiji

About this assignment

Live-In Caretaker Couple – Private Island Property, Fiji

We are seeking a capable, self-sufficient couple to care for a private island property in Fiji. This is a unique opportunity to live in a truly remote, off-grid environment in exchange for accommodation. Walk to the white sandy beach, swim, dive and snorkel.

This role is best suited to individuals who are practical, resourceful, and experienced in managing property systems without direct support.

The Property
• Remote island setting with limited access
• Off-grid infrastructure (solar power, rainwater collection)
• Established grounds with local gardener support
• Quiet, private environment with minimal outside traffic

What We Offer
• Private accommodation on the island in guest house
• A rare lifestyle opportunity in a natural, secluded setting
• Long-term arrangement preferred for the right couple

Key Responsibilities
• Oversee and maintain off-grid systems (solar power, water supply, pumps)
• Troubleshoot and resolve basic mechanical or infrastructure issues
• Coordinate and manage a local gardener
• General property oversight and security
• Monitor and report any maintenance needs

Required Experience & Skills
• Proven experience living or working in remote / off-grid environments
• Practical knowledge of solar systems, water systems, and basic repairs
• High level of self-sufficiency and problem-solving ability
• Ability to work independently without supervision
• Comfortable living in isolation with limited services

Ideal Candidates
• Couples with complementary skill sets (e.g. technical + operational)
• Background in property management, sailing, farming, or remote living
• Calm, adaptable, and low-maintenance personalities

Important Considerations
• This is a remote role — access to shops, services, and transport is limited
• Candidates must be comfortable with isolation and independent living
• This is not a hospitality or guest-facing role; it is a stewardship position

To Apply
Please include:
• A brief introduction of both applicants
• Relevant experience (especially off-grid or remote work)
• Practical skills (solar, plumbing, mechanical, etc.)
• Availability and preferred length of stay
