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.
Some of the benefits of working at CAP
- You will be joining a team of skilled and dedicated individuals who are passionate about CAP’s mahi and making a difference in the community.
- 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
- Flexibility in hours for the right candidate
