Anyone in Chch want a bit of casual grounds maintenance work? Approx $15 an hour.

Then boss has asked me to recruit a casual employee for what will initially be a couple of weeks clearing leaves from guttering in our houses and then for odd bits of work when our two maintenance boys get overwhelmed. If I put an advert in the Press I know I'll get 100 responses to wade through so I thought I'd try you good folk first.
The person must:
> be fit enough to do up to 8 hours light manual work a day when required (weekdays only)
> be able to work unsupervised
> have the aptitiude and attitude to perform basic manual work
> be able to work safely (this work involves ladders and sharp things!)
> have a clean police record (this will be checked)
> be comfortable working in an environment where intellectually disabled people live. (You don't have to work with them but they will come over for a chat)

If anyone is interested they can PM me.

Work is here : www.hohepa.com

Do they need their own transport (read do they have to be able to drive a car) or is everything the worker will need at the grounds to be cleaned?

We supply all the gear. The person just needs to be able to get themselves to our site. Car licence would be an advantage but probably not essential in this case

Sent you a PM!

Hey you two ... when we interviewed you yesterday I think I forgot to mention that one of the duties was cleaning my bike once a week.

. Remember, it's wax on with the right hand, wax off with the left hand.
Hopefully we can get back to you today.

Oh I don't know if I could handle that much!!

Having to wax my bike takes all of 5 mins, if I go slow!

Sweet, look forward to hearing from you.

Sweet, I get to practice my Karate moves while I get paid.

One day I'll beat the Karate Kid.

Woo hoo. Success x 2 ... and the KB Employment Bureau makes it's first casual placements.
I reckon after you guys have finished with the gutterings we'll get you make a bike park for three bikes out of one of the car parks.

Sweet, not only do I get paid, I also get a personal bike space! Not bad!

Yip. Should be a good job for both of us.

Cant wait for this rain to stop so I can get started on the gutters. I hate being stuck inside.

Sorry guys. Just happened to have the camera at work today for another reason when I saw you working out front...
Just be thankful I didn't use the photo to start a caption competition.
