Receptionist/Administrator

18 hours p/week, fixed term 19 May – 4 July, 2025

Are you a superstar administrator/receptionist who is fast to pick up new processes and systems?

Looking for some short-term, part-time work?

The Y Southland could have just the opportunity you’re looking for!

We are seeking a receptionist/administrator for a six-week period, which could lead to ongoing or casual work. We’re after someone who can work 7am-1pm Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 19^th May through to 4^th July, providing cover for one of our team. You’ll open the gym and take care of reception and administrative duties.

Given the short term nature of the role, we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground (or treadmill!) running. You don’t need to know gym ins and outs (although some level of familiarity would be amazing, it’s certainly not an essential), but more importantly you will be a whizz with new online systems and processes.

At this stage the role is required from 19^th May through to 4^th July, but there is the possibility of extension, and potential for ongoing casual or permanent work.

Sound interesting? Get in touch today!

Email hr@ymcasouth.org.nz with your CV and a short note about why this role would work for you and why you’d be perfect for it!
