You will be working a guaranteed minimum of 80 hours per fortnight and flexibility in work hours is essential. Travel to and from client sites is a key component of the role and you may be required to work up to two Saturdays a month.

You will be allocated a company vehicle for work purposes which you take home each night as well as the usual '"tools of the trade" including a mobile phone, tablet/laptop, and all required equipment.

You must be highly organised and keep to time to ensure the client receives the highest level of service and be able to maintain accurate documentation and data management to ensure we meet our NZQA and client requirements.
