Flower Pollinator

New Zealand Delphiniums is a world leading delphinium breeding nursery and seed exporter of F1 hybrid delphinium flower seed.  All our seed is hand pollinated.  We are seeking a number of pollinators to join our existing team at our nursery in Brunswick Road, Whanganui for an 8 - 10 week period starting from early to mid November.  Hand pollinating delphiniums involves fine finger work - de-anthering flowers; selecting flowers from the correct pollen parent and applying pollen so that it 'sticks'. The job involves standing up for 2 hours at a time, careful observation work, fine finger work, attention to detail - all while being surrounded by beautiful flowers in a covered greenhouse. No experience is required; full training is given but we do need an early start (7am).  We offer various working options: 1. on a fixed term basis ( 6 hour shifts over 6 days); and  2. casual 'on call' basis or short evening shifts. You will be required to work over the Christmas/New Year period (excluding Statutory holidays). Our nursery is located 10 minutes from central Whanganui, so you will require your own transport.
