Before you are able to start work a police vetting form needs to be completed and signed by you and processed by the NZ Police. A copy will be sent to all successful online applicants along with their employment pack. Hiring clinic applicants will need to download the form, complete it and send it in to us before their place is confirmed on the clinic.
Is accommodation easy to find?
We strongly recommend that you try to arrange accommodation before you get here unless you are planning to arrive in early to mid May. You should have enough funds to keep yourself either in a backpackers or camp ground while looking unless you have pre-arranged accommodation. The best way to find accommodation is by advertising and checking notice boards daily. The Messenger is a free weekly advertising rag. This is available on a Wednesday from ‘Print It’ and is distributed to letter boxes. You can also place an ad very cheaply within The Messenger. You will be asked to pay a bond when you are renting and most likely sign a rental agreement. In most instances, references are required. Although Treble Cone does not arrange or provide accommodation for staff, if you are having difficulty finding accommodation before commencing work, let us know and we may be able to help.
