What you'll be doing | He aha tāu e mahi ana
You'll be the first point of contact providing phone-based support to people with varying circumstances, assisting them with options, advice, and support to access our services.
At the forefront of peoples' lives, you'll need to be understanding and empathetic to help New Zealanders navigate and resolve complex situations and queries. It's important that you understand that the calls you'll receive can be challenging. Your aim will be to ensure that every client feels respected, listened to, and understood and you will work with them to find alternative solutions where one of our products and services cannot meet their need.
What you do will make a difference in our communities!

Hours of work
You'll be rostered for 37 hours and 55 minutes per week over 5 days. Our current operating hours are between 7am and 6.15pm Monday-Friday and every fourth Saturday 8.00am – 1:30pm.
You must be available to start this May 2024. For us to fully support your training and development in your new role, we require no planned extended leave within the first 6 months of employment.
As events happen across New Zealand, we have a key role in the national response to our communities. Therefore, our contracted hours are Monday to Saturday 6.30 am to 10.00pm. We do expect flexibility to pitch in when needed, so you'll need to be able to adapt to new circumstances as they arise.
We work on a no surprises basis and will ensure that you will know your scheduled shifts well in advance.
