Hortus Limited is part of the Monarch Platform – a community of profit-for-purpose businesses working to grow people and the land. We’re a workforce supply company rooted in viticulture and horticulture, and we’re proud of where we’ve come from. From humble beginnings, we’ve grown into something substantial by New Zealand standards. Our close-knit team includes over 100+ permanent staff, around 900 RSE workers, and more than 200 Kiwis and backpackers joining us each season across New Zealand. Our head office is based in Blenheim, with hardworking teams also operating across Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough, and the Bay of Plenty.
It’s a big time for Hortus – We’re leading the way in RSE accommodation and wraparound care, growing fast in the region and dreaming bigger, all whilst building a strong, focused and caring team. We are looking to grow our team in Hawkes Bay with the following role:
* 5-month fixed term full-time pastoral care support role working a minimum of 15 hours per week on a rostered basis. Shifts may be rostered across Monday - Sunday and may be day time or overnight.
What you will do:
* Supporting our people isn’t just part of the job – it is the job! Our mission is to build a community that backs our kiwi and international workers with meaningful and practical daily support in all areas of Pastoral Care and Wellbeing.
* Support our wellbeing and workforce teams to deliver inductions and offboarding processes of our RSE employees, ensuring they are set up for success and cared for whilst living on site.
* Provide transport and in-person support for RSE workers attending medical and other appointments across Hawke’s Bay, offering a reliable and compassionate companion driving service that ensures they feel supported, respected, and advocated for when needed.
* You’ll be genuinely interested in getting to know our people, finding common ground and building strong relationships
We’re after people who:
* Have a genuine desire to help others - a friendly nature and patient approach is essential.
* Perhaps you are semi-retired or retired person, an ex-taxi or bus driver, or even have a medical or health background, with spare time on your hands?
* Work can be scheduled across Monday to Sunday, and a mix of day shifts and overnight on-call, so flexibility to work weekends and overnight is essential
* Hold a full, clean NZ driver licence
* Ideally have a current First Aid Certificate, although we are willing to support training if you don’t
* Able to pass a driver assessment along with pre-employment checks, including a Drug & Alcohol test and a Ministry of Justice report
* Confidently use phone apps and open to learning digital ways of working
So, why Hortus? Our culture is strong, our integrity is stronger, and we embody our values every day. At Hortus, people really do come first. We work together, united in our passion for producing great work. Our values are our rulebook: Making a Difference; All Together Better; Proud of What We Do.
If you’re keen to help make a real difference in people’s lives and join a supportive, caring team we’d love to hear from you.
