Got some skills, looking for flexible part-time work and love the Waitaki district? Let’s chat!

Waitaki App is a locally owned and operated business with a tight-knit team of part-time contractors — one of whom is soon off to welcome a new baby (congrats to them 💞).

So, we’re on the lookout for an extra pair of hands to keep things running smoothly and support our growing workload.

This role is part-time and flexible, with the potential to evolve into something more over time. We’re open-minded and ready to shape the job around the right person’s strengths.

What You’ll Be Doing

We wear lots of hats here — so we’re looking for someone adaptable and eager to pitch in. You’ll bring skills in one (or more) of the following areas:

• • Journalism or writing – creating short articles, community updates or feature pieces
  • Photography – capturing events, people and stories visually
  • Basic graphic design – Canva skills and/or social media content creation
  • Data entry and organisation – keeping things tidy, accurate and up to date
  • Sales or customer interaction – helping local businesses get the most from Waitaki App

What We’re Looking For

We don’t expect you to do it all, but we are looking for someone who:

• • Brings a positive, proactive, can-do attitude
  • Feels comfortable using technology and is keen to learn new tech tools
  • Has a genuine passion for Waitaki and our community

Bonus Points If You Have…

• • Experience or interest in journalism, writing, or research
  • Skills in tools like Canva, Shopify, Klaviyo – or the drive to learn them
  • Confidence with data entry and managing digital info
  • A background in customer service, sales or relationship-building
  • A creative eye, strong attention to detail and clear communication skills

Why Join Us?

We're passionate about showcasing the best of Waitaki and helping our community thrive. If you enjoy variety, being part of a supportive team and want to make a real impact locally, this could be the perfect fit.

We’re flexible on hours and ready to work around the right person’s availability.
