Hello all,

Me and my OH will be job hunting from UK on websites during the month or so before we leave just in case anything good comes up just before we fly :) in November.

Just wondered if anyone has any good ideas for websites to job hunt on? We are moving to Chch (my OH's home town) but he's been out of NZ for nearly 7 years so is a bit out of the loop re: where to look for jobs. Obviously it will likely be easier once we're there but no harm in having a look for the month before we fly.

My OH currently works as a team manager in a national charity here which aims to supports people with learning difficulties to live independent lives in their own homes. And I also work for a charity in a senior admin role. My OH is especially keen to try to remain in the charity/vol organisation sector if he can at all or local government etc.

Any help greatly appreaciated, so far we have:

seek
trademe
jobs.govt.nz
nzherald.co.nz
NZ corrections dept

And particular to Christchurch:
University of Canterbury, CPIT, Chch city council, Canterbury district health board

Any ideas? :) Thanks.

My MiL works for CCS Disability Action (http://cwc.ccsdisabilityaction.org.nz/) in Chch - they deal with both children and adults.

I have no idea whether they have any jobs going, but an expression of interest can't go amiss :)
