If you’re already proficient in these apps - then wonderful! lead us the way... or if like me, you're not yet a whizz, you must be keen to quickly upskill and have the patience of a saint as we iron out initial wrinkles.

As almost all of our clients are charities, please also indicate what if any experience you have with charities, either as a worker or as a client.

The current maximum budget for this role is NZ$300 per month but the extent to which we will delegate tasks will depend on the actual skills of the successful Upgrade to see actual info your application please indicate how many hours work you are prepared to do should you be appointed for that maximum dollar amount per month.

If we click, and you have the right skills, there is scope for additional hours either doing a variety of other mainly 1-off tasks to clear some of the other work we variously do using Mailchimp, Facebook, Weebly, Canva etc.
