We are still looking for a retail whiz to help us as a Store Manager for our Three Kings Op shop.
We are desperately hoping that as our amazing supporters, you can help us spread the word to anyone who may fit the bill.
If you know someone who has great customer service skills, experience leading a team and has a great sense of enthusiasm to rally the troops for a great cause - then we NEED THEM!
We are struggling without this position being filled which is putting a huge strain and resource and means we can't reach our full op shop potential for the animals.
In short, we need you and our animals need you, so lets find someone who can help a team in need!
IF you think you can help us, or know someone that can, please apply by sending your CV and Cover letter to Emma Starr at emma.starr@spca.org.nz by the 28th September.
Thanks guys!

Is it fair to pay for landline calls to Auckland

Reporter Rodney Times

Auckland's free-calling area stops north of Muriwai Beach, Hobsonville and Albany.

This saw around 90,000 Hibiscus and Bays residents and around 55,000 Rodney residents reliant on toll calls to ring outside their area.

But around 70 per cent of people now have smart phone access.

Auckland's free-calling area stops north of Muriwai Beach, Hobsonville and Albany.

This saw around 90,000 Hibiscus and Bays residents and around 55,000 Rodney residents reliant on toll calls to ring outside their area.

But around 70 per cent of people now have smart phone access.

Older people are most likely to only take the landline option. Others will often take the landline option on a broadband package for computers or tablets, but only so older relatives can still reach call, or as an emergency option.

Free call apps have also become popular.

Do you think it's fair to have to pay for phone calls to Auckland numbers?
