Description

We are New Zealanders taking a six month break from our working lives. We both love walking and running in the great outdoors, getting to know new people and cultures, and are currently learning to surf.

We are looking for opportunities to work from August to November before we leave to go back to New Zealand in December.

Tamara (31) is a climate change policy adviser - so has a keen interest in the environment and the impact of humans on our living world. Tamara also has previous experience working in retail and hospitality sectors, as well as babysitting children and pets.

Arden (32) is a family doctor - so has good communication and problem solving skills. Arden also has experience working in hospitality and has previously worked for a scuba dive tour company.

We are both positive, hard working people who are happy to get stuck in wherever needed. We enjoy new experiences and working as part of a team. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

More details about your skills

We both have been working professionally for almost 10 years. We have strong communication and organisational skills, and enjoy working with people. We are tech savvy and work hard to pick up new skills quickly.

We work well under pressure and are both team players. We bring positive, can-do attitudes and are laid back and easy to get along with.

Back in New Zealand, we have a house and garden which we enjoy keeping clean and tidy. We have learnt various handy maintenance skills and are always keen to learn more.
