**** COVID19 REQUIREMENTS ****
We are an essential service so will be operating but we need to ensure that anyone coming to our sites meets the requirements of the Government.
As such if you are to start work with us we must have absolute confirmation that you will only attend work and home, you will not have visitors outside your “home bubble”, you will limit grocery shopping and at all times maintain the social distance requirements.
We will need you to be sure you have not travelled in the last 14 days or been in contact with anyone who has.
You must also ensure that if you are unwell at any time you immediately contact management, further information will be provided to anyone that starts.
It is vital to us as employers to keep everyone safe so adherence to these requirements will be mandatory and we will request each person to sign a declaration as confirmation.
DURING THIS TIME WE HAVE NO WORK AVAILABLE AT THE TANGIWAI LOCATION.
 To ensure we meet social distance requirements please do not apply in person but forward all applications to employment@perrysberrys.co.nz or alternatively ring 09 6222350 and request an application to be posted to you.

We would like to thank you for your interest in working for us and provide you with a bit of information about the roles offered.

Due to the seasonal nature of our work we are only able to offer casual work on an-as-and-when-required basis, work is not continuous.

Our busiest times are:
Planting - approximately 10 April to May / June
Harvest - approximately 15 September to 31 January
Other busy times are:
Leaves - approximately 1 July to 31 August
Straw - approximately 1 September to 30 September
Plant Nurseries - approximately 1 September to Mid March
We also require help at other times during the year.

Most of the work available is paid by piecerate - where you are required to produce enough to earn at least the current minimum wage to retain your position.  If you are earning more than the minimum wage and producing quality work then you are paid by piecerate (higher than the minimum wage).

We have available both inside and outside work at different times throughout the year.

We require staff for both our Auckland and Tangiwai locations. 

The Tangiwai location there is only outside work available, we require only a small number of staff for the nursery in Tangiwai during the period of approx September to Mid March and accommodation may be provided.

If you do wish to apply please email employment@perrysberrys.co.nz or ring 09 6222 350.  Please ensure you provide your IRD tax number, proof of eligibility to work in New Zealand and photo ID.  Payment can be made to your bank account so it would be preferred if you supply this too.
