Job description

Role Overview

We are proud to be New Zealand’s oldest traditional Friendly Society. We have been helping New Zealanders since 1842. The original idea behind a friendly society came about in the UK over 400 years ago. It was a simple, but highly innovative idea for its time. Part of that philosophy is providing affordable ways for our Members to holiday, and we are seeking a Caretaker for our newly purchased Foxton Beach holiday home.

Responsibilities

  • Inspect the unit to ensure that the property has been left in good condition.
  • Check that appropriate cleaning has been performed by outgoing occupants. If cleaning has not been completed by outgoing occupants, you will be required to notify Head Office and do the cleaning before the next occupant arrives.
  • Review the feedback book, action any small maintenance requests (example : replace broken kettle) and notify Head Office of any big maintenance repairs required so we can organise a tradesman.
  • Bookings are mostly week long (Fri-Fri) but you will also have the odd daily stays too, so flexibility is required.
  • The caretaker may be required to provide ad hoc services outside of their hours should Members have urgent issues with the units.
  • Approx. 3-6 hours a week.

Contract Details

This is a contractor role with an intended start date of January 2026.

Important Skills to Have

  • Be courteous, caring and outgoing.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication.
  • Comfortable with technology and admin.
  • Great attention to detail.
  • Amazing with time management.
  • The ability to problem-solve and think on your feet.
  • Requirements

  • Must be living local to the area.
  • NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
  • Full NZ License.
  • Pass a police and reference check.
  • Have the flexibility to be able to work during peak periods.
  • Must have own car, computer, internet access, and mobile phone.
  • How to Apply

    Please send your full CV and cover letter to

    Apply now for this role or get more information by contacting Rebecca Howard.
