EcoCentre Staffing Support

Come and join our friendly team of volunteers & contractors who staff the EcoCentre from Tuesday to Friday.

Members of the public visit the EcoCentre with queries about our programme of sustainability workshops, specialist recycling, Tai Tokerau Timebank, Plastic Free Te Hiku & Community Composting and to purchase ecofriendly items e.g. baking soda for cleaning, home made soaps, beeswax wraps, zero waste cosmetics, seedling plants, donated produce and upcycled clothes.

Tasks include serving customers, using an EFTPOS machine for sales, entering sales in the cash book, cleaning, displaying items in the EcoCentre & pricing stock. Full training will be given by others already in a paid or volunteer staffing role at the EcoCentre.
