He aha te tūranga I About the role

We need an awesome advocate for the services that we offer our whanau, and of course picking up and transporting whānau safely to and from their appointments. You will be responsible for making sure the van is always road worthy, confirming appointments, and managing the bookings.

If this role sounds like you, karanga mai, we’d love to hear from you!
