Assistant Area Manager Vacancies

Posted 13 Jan '09 under Auckland Local

The Auckland Local encourages its members to apply for the recently gazetted Assistant Area Manager vacancies in the Manukau Area and the Central Auckland Area.

We have repeatedly asked the 2 members doing the acting DCFO jobs to return to their substantive positions. Both have refused.
