What you will be signing up for

When you join us at The Red Bow you will get support to be the best version of yourself working for a charity that wants to make a difference in young people’s lives. We have working from home flexibility (where practical), and regular check in support, so you know we are here to care for you and your needs. While this role would require occasional work outside of usual office hours due to board meetings, the successful candidate would have the opportunity to take control of their schedule and ensure they are only working 6 hours per month.

When do GM take place?/Availability

We meet once every 2 months. Our meetings take place on Wednesdays evenings from 7:00-9:00 pm. We might meet in person in a location in Auckland, but we also allow members to join online via ZOOM/Google Meets as not everyone can always commute or live in Auckland. Please, only apply if your availability matches with ours as you will need to attend GMs.
