About Us
Abbeyfield provides an innovative housing model that offers healthy, secure, and affordable living—accessible even if superannuation is your main or only income. Each older resident has a private ensuite room and shares common spaces such as the lounge, dining area, and laundry. The house operates under a volunteer committee, with a housekeeper preparing nutritious meals daily. Our aim is to reduce isolation and loneliness while supporting residents to maintain independent living for as long as possible.
What you’ll be doing:
- assist in maintaining the organisation
- typing minutes from meetings and distributing these to committee members
- communicate with our National Office in Nelson
- occasionally organise or attend special events
We are seeking a committed Secretary to assist with maintaining organisation and ensuring our operations remain efficient and orderly.
