Are you looking for something you can do from home?
The Marlborough-Nelson Marine Radio Association currently has eight dedicated volunteer marine VHF radio operators, and they're looking for two more. Could this be you?
The Association's radio operators take turns monitoring the radio channels, providing a valuable service to boaties in the Nelson/Marlborough area. Operators read weather forecasts and other safety information, record vessel’s trip and position reports, and can connect boaties to assistance they may require.
This is a home-based volunteer position. Volunteers who live in Picton or Blenheim would be best suited to this role as good radio reception is essential. The channels are monitored from 0700 - 2200 daily and you can tell us your preference of when you would be available: early, late, or all day! And you can choose how frequently you volunteer but ideally the equivalent of a couple of half days per week would be good. But if you are keen, and available, then let's talk!
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Association provides ALL the radio equipment required, plus full training and backup! You'll need an internet connection and a computer or laptop to use.
Volunteers of ALL AGES are welcome to get in touch.
