About the Role
The role of Christchurch Stock Coordinator exists to support our Christchurch Science Communicators to store, care for and support the management of our party kits and stock.
Before and after each party, there's some work to be done to ensure that our scientists have everything that they need - and, critically, that our customers have an amazing experience. When a party is done, the gear needs to be cleaned, restocked and reset so it's in perfect order for its next use. Prior to each party, you’ll need to re-check the equipment and ensure that the consumables etc are all set to go. This role is ideally suited to a mature, detail oriented, tidy person - and if you have an interest in STEM and/or a passion for education and looking for some additional income - then we can't wait to talk!
