Hi Neighbours,

I am the lead wellness manager in a retirement village and currently looking for casual staff to join the emergency response team. This is to provide cover when our regular staff are away.
We are in Mairangi Bay.

Shifts might be dayshift, nightshift or weekend.

You’re able to sleep during nightshift so this is great if you want to earn whilst you sleep.

No qualifications are needed but initiative and problem-solving skills are essential as the main task is responding to emergency situations.

You will need a first-aid certificate. If you don’t have one talk to us and we may be able to help.

If you’d like to learn more give me a ring during business hours on:

Op Shop - Hibiscus Coast Presbyterian Church
Volunteers Urgently Needed
Volunteering at our Op Shop is more than just a good use of free time - it's fun.

Shop manager Val Dymock is on the lookout for new volunteers and says anyone with a few hours to spare might want to consider spending it volunteering at the shop.

"It's a place to come and have a laugh and make new friends," she says. "People are feeling isolated and don't necessarily want to come out, but our Op Shop are doing what we can to provide this place for people to still come to make friends and have a laugh."

The shop is invested in our local community and supports various community initiatives, schools, hospital Chaplains and needy families.
"Without volunteers, we can't open and can't make money to provide these services," says Val who runs the Op Shop.

The shop also provides a service for locals who might not be able to buy things new.

"We can kit you out, your house out, your kitchen out. There's everything here and the price range is starting at a dollar," says Val.

"And we cater for all demographics - antique dealers, people who want to buy stuff and put it on Trade Me to people who want to buy clothes from an op shop because they don't want to buy new for sustainability reasons. But without staff we can't provide all those things."

If you are interested, please call Val on: 021 133 6545 or call in at the Op Shop

We can show people round if they feel daunted at the prospect of something new - come in and have a look around the shop, meet a few people and we can go from there.
