About Us – Christchurch City Mission

The Christchurch City Mission (Te Whare Mīhana Ki Ōtautahi) helps anyone in need, no matter their situation. We work with people going through tough times—whether it’s because of job loss, housing issues, addiction, family problems, or financial stress. 

We respond to both immediate crises and long-term challenges. Our services aim to help people gain the confidence and skills to live independently and feel proud of themselves. We've seen lives change with our support and believe everyone deserves a second chance. 

What This Role Is About

We are looking for an Administrator / Kaimahi to support the day-to-day operation of our Transitional Housing service. This is a key daytime role that sits at the heart of the service, combining administration, frontline support, and a strong focus on health and safety. 

Based in the Transitional Housing office, you’ll be a key point of contact for clients, staff, volunteers, and external agencies during the daytime.

Working closely with frontline and clinical teams, you’ll help ensure effective communication across shifts, support accurate handovers, maintain clear administrative systems, and contribute to a calm, respectful, and well-run environment for clients and staff alike.

This is a permanent full-time position. The days and hours of work are Monday to Friday, 8:15am – 4:45pm (30-minute unpaid meal break)

About You - What You Bring

We are seeking someone with the following skills and experience:

• Experience in administration, reception, or frontline support


• Comfortable working with vulnerable people in a busy environment


• Calm, organised, and able to use good judgement under pressure


• Strong communication skills and attention to detail


• Understanding of confidentiality, health & safety, and basic risk management


• Awareness of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and tikanga Māori


• Values aligned with the Christchurch City Mission
  

In return we can offer you a rewarding role within a fun and supportive team environment, where no two days will be the same!  We also offer a wellbeing allowance and a day off for your birthday, not to mention the personal satisfaction gained from working for an organisation that does such amazing work.
