Do you have a passion for conservation and animal welfare?

Ngāi Tahu Tourism is one of the largest tourism operators in Aotearoa and we are currently seeking a Customer Service Guide to join our dedicated kiwi team at the National Kiwi Hatchery.

The National Kiwi Hatchery is the largest and most successful hatchery in NZ - having hatched over 2,400 kiwi chicks since 1995, with an average hatch success of 95%. We also play an important part in helping with kiwi research and are a center of excellence for juvenile kiwi training and scientific data collation.

The National Kiwi Hatchery is open to manuhiri (visitors) allowing us to advocate kiwi conservation, which is the focus of this role.

We take great pride in warmly welcoming manuhiri (visitors) to our experiences. Manaakitanga (hospitality) is one of the core values that drives the way we do business. As hosts, we care for our customers and our team as our own whānau.

A little bit about you

• Keeps cool under pressure
• Has the ability and willingness to work shifts on weekdays, weekends and public holidays

The successful applicant will have an affinity for the needs and aspirations of our ultimate stakeholders, Ngāi Tahu whānui. Alongside this, they will have an understanding of, or an eagerness to learn and engage with our Ngāi Tahu values and te reo Māori. Ka tika!
