We're looking for a new Administrator
We have a position opened up for an experienced administrator working in our office.
Financial services or insurance industry experience is desirable but not expected, more that we need an experienced administrator who can start and learn what's needed quickly.
The role is part-time and flexible on hours and working/contract arrangements. We understand life happens and for us it is about getting the job done without setting a crushing routine.
We are aiming at school hours typically, so would suit someone with kids looking to return to work but still needs flexibility.
Essential skills needed are:
General administration, printing, filing, mail, email and website (use not design) skills.
As we are a highly automated business and strong computer skills are essential.
Experience with Microsoft Office
Cloud-based tools and systems experience is essential, though specific cloud app experience is not necessary as these are industry systems and training will be provided.
We run an Apple environment, so experience with an Apple Mac would be an advantage but not essential.
The role is expected to grow and increasing hours and scope of the job is expected. Which may suit someone looking for fewer hours now with the opportunity to grow or increase them later.
If you think this is something you would like to discuss further, please contact J-P through this link www.wgcl.live...

Warnings about scams
This Fraud Awareness Week, we’re reminding everyone to stay sharp and look out for the warning signs of scams to stop them before they start.
Here’s what to watch out for:
🔍 Unrealistic offers or promises of easy money that are too good to be true
🔍 Pressure tactics: Scammers may rush or threaten you to act immediately.
🔍 Requests for personal info: Be cautious if you’re asked for bank details, passwords, or sensitive information.
🔍 Unusual payment methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🔍 Unverified contacts: Emails, calls, or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
How to protect yourself:
✅ Stop and think before sharing personal details or making payments.
✅ Don't click on any links until you know that it is safe.
✅ Verify the source: Contact the organisation directly using official channels.
✅ If something’s not right, it's OK to hang up, walk away, ignore it and move on.
If you wish to report a scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
