Part-time work exploring the city

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Manukau

Part time work in Manurewa

A paid job that’s lots of fun



Support a young person with a disability.







Are you a student looking for a few hours of fun paid work or a retired grandad with energy and time to spare? This awesome job is supporting a young disabled man to have a meaningful and fun couple of hours twice per week. He is looking for someone to work Wednesdays and Fridays for two hours during the daytime, start and finish time is flexible but must be home before 5pm.







You must love activities like ten pin bowling, swimming or going to the park, plus reading books, playing with puzzles and games on the rainy days. His disability means that he needs you to explain what is happening throughout the day. Things like where you are going, what’s happening next and be a physical guide as he has low vision. You also need to be calm and patient allowing him time to process his thoughts. He loves being busy and being out and about so if you feel the same then great, and if you love to make someone's day and are a keen supporter, then get in touch. A full driver's licence is required to go on some awesome adventures.







If you are interested, please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message







Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
