Administration & Office Management
Want to join the worlds largest humanitarian organisation and help your local community at the same time? If you love talking to people, are computer savvy and like organising, then this is the role for you.
We are looking for someone to assist our existing volunteer coordinator with her duties on a casual basis, about a week or so every month OR two weeks at a time every 2 months.
Your main responsibilities will be taking calls from residents in the Cambridge community who require transport to medical appointments in Hamilton and coordinating with our volunteer driving team to arrange the journey. Your key role would be to match the needs of residents to the availability of our volunteer drivers.
This role can be done from home and we will provide a mobile phone to take calls on.

We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
Want to see what recovery will look like from here? The Waikato Times has the latest.

So we want to hear what you think:

-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.6% ... It is complicated
