We’re looking for a diligent administrator with excellent attention to detail to join our friendly and competent Finance & Operations team. You’ll be professional, organised and super-efficient and you’ll get satisfaction out of helping to make things run as smoothly as possible!
Tearfund is one of New Zealand’s leading faith-based NGO’s with world-class development partnerships and programmes throughout the developing world. We are a highly respected charity that inspires people to give, learn, advocate and stand up against injustice. Our mission statement is: “Motivated by Jesus, we encourage Kiwis to act for justice to relieve poverty among the world’s most vulnerable people”. Our finance & operations team helps to enable the incredible work our partners do around the world to alleviate poverty and injustice.
You’ll be successful if you’ve got an eye for detail, are highly organised and are very comfortable multitasking. You’ll have an appreciation for doing things right the first time and you’ll be willing to pitch in and do whatever you can to help the team.
