Our client offers benefits such as 4 weeks of annual leave, 10 days of sick leave, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference by caring about human rights in New Zealand through the work we do. Initially, you'll spend 2 to 3 months in the office to get to know the team, and once settled, you'll have the flexibility to work 2 to 3 days in the office. Starting times are also very flexible.
CVs need to be sent by 9th October 2024.
