REF 5675 - On-call Crisis Worker
This critical Hutt organisation provides support for vulnerable members of our community. In this role you will be supporting the specialist crisis workers on an on-call basis. Ideally you will have outstanding communication skills, a high level of professionalism, ability to work in a high pressure environment, and a kind empathetic heart. This is a very challenging but equally rewarding opportunity. Full support and training will be provided to you.
REF 6309 - Youth Support
This wonderful agency gives our local kids and teenagers the opportunity to take a different path in life and build their self confidence. They are looking for someone who is able to connect with younger people and guide them in the right direction. You must be a kind, encouraging, and non-judgmental person to be the right fit for this role. Interest in any crafts / sports activities is also a bonus. Full support and training will be provided to you.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
