Be the front-line point of contact for thousands of boaties

Mike from Coastguard Northern Region

Looking to help save lives at sea? If you want to help keep boaties safe on the water (and whether or not you're a boatie yourself), consider a role with the highly professional Operations Centre team as a volunteer Radio Operator.

Coastguard is the charity saving lives at sea, and is almost entirely staffed by over 2,000 dedicated volunteers from communities across the country. Last year the Operations Centre in Mechanics Bay logged 114,738 VHF radio calls from boaties making trip reports, kept watch on over 17,805 bar crossings, and coordinated search and rescue responses to bring 5,407 boaties back home to safety.

By becoming a volunteer, you can be part of a close-knit team dedicated to saving lives at sea. Your contribution may one day save the life of a boatie in need.

• Can you communicate clearly and with confidence?
• Are you fluent in English?
• Do you have a technical mind and are you organised?
• Can you remain positive and calm under pressure?

If so, we’re looking for you! Full training provided. Please apply today at www.coastguard.org.nz... or call the team on 0800 BOATIE (262 843) – we’d love to hear from you!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
