Part-time work or volunteering
Hi Neighbourly community,
My name is James, I'm 26 and live in Meadowbank.
I worked in Tourism for 10 years but Covid-19 restrictions meant myself and many others were made redundant at the end of 2020. I currently work part-time in a Law firm as an office assistant and am looking for some new opportunities and experiences. I'm interesting in working with animals, offering support and companionship to people in aged care and dog walking. I'm fairly flexible time wise and have my own car with a full licence.
Thank you for your attention :)

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
