Upper Waitati, New Zealand Orokonui Ecosanctuary Trust Full time NZ$35,000 - NZ$45,000 per year

The Horopito cafe is looking for someone to become part of our Orokonui team.

The cafe is an important part of the manaaki that we show to visitors, serving them delicious food and drink while looking out at the best views in Ōtepoti Dunedin

Horopito café sits at within the Orokonui visitor centre at the top of the Orokonui valley. It looks out across the 307 hectares of the Orokonui Ecosanctuary where thanks to its 9km predator resistant fence native wildlife thrives.  This includes many species uncommon or absent from the surrounding landscape such as takahē, kākā, tuatara, kiwi, and Tīeke (SI saddleback). The sanctuary is an important place for visitors of all ages to experience nature including thousands of school children who visit each year, and international visitors who travel from around the world.

Horopito Café provides a thoughtful dining experience for visitors to the ecosanctuary, and caters for business meetings, weddings, retreats, and all other functions held on site. Our team strives to lead by example: in our everyday operations, we minimise packaging, compost organic waste, use UV treated rainwater, recycle wastewater, and have solar heated hot water. We are committed to sourcing and serving local produce reflective of regenerative practice, and we are committed to creating opportunities for collaboration and innovation with the wider community. By constantly questioning how we can do better, we hope to inspire others to do better too

Alongside tours, shop, admissions and events the café also plays a crucial role in creating revenue that supports the conservation and wildlife advocacy work of the sanctuary.

Primary role:  Our perfect fit will have existing experience working in a fast-paced cafe environment – a skilled barista, able to deliver consistently high-quality beverages, at speed, over our busy summer season. This is a part-time permanent role, which includes weekend work: two shifts are available, Friday and Saturday. Additional hours, to service the delivery of events outside of normal opening hours, and to cover shifts for other team members on leave, will also be available.

Adaptable team member, comfortable in both Front of House and Back of House, working as part of a fast-paced team. Duties include barista service, cash handling, customer service, food preparation (including some baking – training provided), clearing tables, washing dishes, and cleaning.

Hours: Horopito Café is open from 9:30am to 3pm, five days per week, Thursday to Monday (closed Tuesday and Wednesday). Rostered shifts are between 5 – 7 hours, worked between the hours of 8:30am and 4:30pm.
