Sometimes we work on weekends and you will be paid extra. Other times there will be no work at all.

Sometimes we get very short notice, less the 24 hours to attend to a job.

We work in teams for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. Usually there will be 2-5 people on each job.

The cleaning skills include (but you don't need them all and you can be trained up and don't need them all):

Normal house cleaning (including kitchen and bathrooms) as well our extra service that include jobs as:

 Oven Cleaning;

 Walls & Ceilings;

 Blinds;

 Carpet cleaning

 Windows;

 Water blasting / House wash;

 Lifting skills for lighter furniture (for the Home Staging part of my business).



Ideal candidate:

 English speaking;

 Good communication skills and positive attitude;

 Physically strong and fit;

 Some cleaning skills/flair needed;

 Reliable, diligent and flexible;

 Own car (often if jobs further away, we go in my car)or need to take public transport to jobs or pick up places);

 Good with your phone (so I can get a prompt answer)

Work Visa a must and no cash jobs.

Supervisor position is an option, working mostly as a cleaner to start with to learn the business to know.

The Matariki cluster will send Aotearoa a new public holiday next year.

The actual date of Matariki will move but is expected to always fall on a Friday or Monday.

The first day off will be Friday June 24 in 2022.

Government advice suggests the new Matariki public holiday will cost businesses between $377 - $448 million.

But that advice does not include any potential economic benefits from the new public holiday, set to be introduced from next year.

The estimated cost has come under fire from ACT leader David Seymour who said the public holiday amounted to a tax on business.

Seymour suggested that the Government get rid of another public holiday to make way for Matariki.

Hi neighbours,

Have you booked your household inorganic collection service?

Inorganic bookings for your neighbourhood close eight days before the relevant collection week.

Pre-booking ensures the collector has permission to collect items from inside your property boundary and also means you can let the council know if there are any access issues on the property.

Collection piles can be up to a maximum of 1 cubic metre in size.

The service is for items that don’t belong in your kerbside collection, so don’t put your cardboard or excess rubbish or recycling in your inorganic pile.

Concrete, porcelain, ceramics, and polystyrene are also banned from the inorganic collection.

You can book your collection by going to:

www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz..., phoning 09 301 0101 or dropping into any service centre.
