You can help bring our villages to life! 

At Summerset, from the moment we start developing a village, to when our residents call it home, it’s the passion and dedication of our people that brings our villages to life. We are one team united by being part of something bigger – to bring the best of life to our residents.  

The way we work is guided by our values - One Team, Strong Enough to Care and Strive to Be the Best. We know it takes a collective effort to bring a village to life and help it thrive, so Summerset is a place where everyone’s uniqueness and diversity can shine.  

When you’re part of the Summerset team, you belong to a place where your work has real impact, who you are is fully embraced and where your career flourishes. 

An opportunity has arisen for an energetic and friendly person to join our team at Summerset, to assist with the day to day operation of our on-site café. At Summerset, we're passionate about providing quality service to our clients and we are growing quickly, with 30+ villages from Warkworth to Dunedin.

We value your customer service ethic as much as the technical skills you bring to the team - our culture is what sets us apart! Our Café Assistant is in many ways the face of our business and as such you need to be able to relate to a wide range of people, especially the elderly and their families.

This is a new part-time role working 8am to 4pm on Friday and Saturday, and 10am to 2.30pm on Sunday.

• food preparation and presentation is preferable
• enjoy working autonomously as well as part of a team.

What's in it for you? This is an excellent time to be joining Summerset - not only are we growing and investing, we're the fastest builder of new retirement villages in New Zealand, so for the right person this company is brimming with opportunity. The work activity that you will be exposed to in this role will be diverse and interesting as well as working with a passionate team that is fun to be part of. To recognise the important work that you do for our residents, we offer social sporting teams, health cover, discounts at a range of suppliers and more.

This role includes many great benefits e.g. discounts at various brands via our Boost plan!
