Queenstown, New Zealand Groundswell Landscaping Full time NZ$28,000 - NZ$35,000 per year

Administrative Assistant (Casual)

Approx. 10 hours per week | Queenstown-based

Groundswell Landscapes are looking for a motivated and organised Administrative Assistant to support our Executive Assistant with day-to-day business operations.

This role would suit someone organised, efficient, and confident using technology — someone who thrives on variety and enjoys supporting different parts of a business.

We're specifically looking for someone who is committed, reliable, and genuinely interested in becoming part of our long-term team. As our business continues to grow, this role will increase in hours and responsibility, so it's ideal for someone who wants to grow with us and is open to taking on more over time.

Ideal for someone with strong attention to detail, solid computer skills, and the ability to move easily between administrative, accounting, and project support tasks.

What we're offering:

  • Around 10 hours per week to start, worked between Tuesday and Friday (approx. 9am–3pm). Exact schedule can be arranged together within these hours.
  • $28–$35 per hour depending on experience
  • Based in Queenstown
  • Mostly working alongside our Executive Assistant
  • Flexibility for some remote hours once confident in the role
  • Supportive, friendly team environment
  • We're looking for someone interested in a long-term position, as we're a growing company and hours are likely to increase over time — with potential to help out with holiday cover too.

What you'll be doing:

  • Helping manage emails and general correspondence
  • Supporting product and plant sourcing for landscaping projects
  • Assisting with HR and recruitment admin
  • Helping with accounts and Xero tasks
  • General admin and organisational support as needed

About you:

  • Strong organisational skills
  • Confident with email, spreadsheets, and online tools
  • Professional, reliable, and a good communicator
  • Previous administrative experience
  • Experience with Xero is a bonus, but not essential
  • Must have your own laptop

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you
