About our organisation

CAP is a not-for-profit organisation working across Aotearoa to bring hope and help to individuals and whānau who are trapped in debt and poverty.

Every month, CAP receives hundreds of phone calls from New Zealanders who are drowning in unmanageable debt. It consumes more than they have to give; families are forced to sacrifice living essentials to pay their creditors. Our free, professional Debt Help service enables clients to repay their debt using their own income, and work towards a better future. As with all of CAP’s services, Debt Help is delivered in partnership with local churches, allowing clients to receive holistic care as they journey towards the ‘debt free’ finish line.

  • Service Development is a team of people
    • eager to question the status quo, open to changing their minds, and willing to be honest about the organisation’s challenges
    • proactive in bringing solutions, trying new things and thinking creatively
  • Leadership staff aspire to outstanding work culture, and create space for ownership, development, meaningful feedback, learning and stretching skills
  • staff wellbeing and health is of high importance at CAP, with an employee assistance programme and flexible working options available
  • Generous annual leave provisions – annual entitlement of five weeks for the first year, then building towards six weeks
  • Best of all – you will play a part in positively impacting the lives of New Zealanders in poverty – and the generations that follow
