Recreate NZ, Choices NZ and Sudima Hotels have designed a paid internship programme for individuals with intellectual disability, neurodiversity or a long-term health condition interested in learning more about the hospitality industry. There are options for trialing front desk, food & beverage or housekeeping roles in hotels around the country. You must be on a benefit, ready to work in a team environment and have a support person to assist if required. Please enquire if you would like to be put on the waitlist for this Moxie internship opportunity.

Recreate NZ facilitates Moxie Employment training with businesses that share our values. The aim is to carefully match Moxie trainees with suitable employers and facilitate a training period that results in permanent, part time employment. Moxie Employment achieves success because trainees already participate in other Recreate NZ programmes, allowing facilitators to deeply understand individuals and can confidently advocate to employers. In some instances, we may suggest you attend other programmes that will support learning in specific skill areas as well as giving us time to get to know you better. We have seen great success in the past few years and are very keen to keep growing this exciting and dynamic employment stream. Employers are then matched with appropriate trainees based on interests, skill, location, and shift times. We will do our best to find work for all who are interested, but suggest you continue your own investigations too. Please note, we cannot guarantee immediate work. Moxie Employment is arranged with employers as opportunities arise. If you are registered with Recreate NZ and would like to express interest in employment opportunities, please get in touch with the Moxie team, moxie@recreate.org.nz.
