Join the Good Planet Team This Summer!
Looking for summer work in Auckland? We’re looking for friendly, energetic people to join the Good Planet team in Kumeū for our busy summer season.
These are combined roles, with team members working across strawberry picking, hospitality, retail and customer service, depending on the day and where you’re needed.
It’s a great opportunity if you enjoy variety, meeting people and don’t mind getting outdoors and helping in the strawberry fields.
