An amazing student job opportunity

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Glen Innes

Do you love playing sport, Call of Duty, cooking or afternoons in the sunshine?

If so, then we have the job you have been looking for. A 17 year old with an intellectual disability is looking for a peer mentor/buddy to fill his afternoons. You will chat, kick a ball around, head to walk on the beach or explore the museum. He is a friendly chatty guy who loves most things online, a good laugh and having decent people to talk to. He is looking for someone who can be good company, help him fill his afternoons and be a bit of a role model. He would love a gym buddy, to work out alongside and keep him motivated.

If you had a full licence there would be more fun ways to fill your afternoons, but we are open to anyone applying who can bring some energy and enthusiasm to the role.

We are looking for someone about 8-10 hours per week: 3 hours on a Saturday, plus 2 or 3 afternoons after school. If you wanted to do some extra school holiday hours that would be amazing, but not essential.

If you are interested, please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message.

Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

Poll: Are swear words no longer?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2023, Apple amended its autocorrect function to allow Iphone users to freely use their intended word without mentioning 'ducks'. Is this a sign of the times? Are swear words no longer taboo in our communities or workplaces?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
