I have worked in 5 star luxury lodges and resorts across Australia and New Zealand in business intelligence and accounts after completing a Bachelor’s in Business Management. Most recently I worked in the construction sector for a company that has helped build Kaweka Hospital and it’s been great seeing the other side of the project.

Working closely with Bridget, the Financial Controller, I am responsible for accurate processing of day-to-day financial transactions for the company. Currently I’m helping with the setup and testing of our new finance system which is a nice challenge. I also assist with various month end tasks, as well as whatever other tasks come my way. I’m really looking forward to applying my 5-star hospitality experience to the hospital!

I am so excited to be working alongside, and learning from, such an incredibly talented team that brings a much-needed resource to Hawke’s Bay. I have always had a passion and interest for healthcare, so it’s great to finally be involved in that environment. To not just be in any-old hospital but a luxurious, world class facility that is going to benefit so many people, it’s a dream come true.

I feel very grateful to have come into such a supportive environment here. The Kaweka Way does make you feel like a valued member of the team. Seeing the progress of the build is amazing, so much can change within a week.
