About
Dogoodjobs.co.nz is an online jobs board linking passionate, talented, “do-gooders” (like you!) with job vacancies at organisations working to create social and environmental change.
Jobseekers + Do-Gooders
This website is made for you. It’s about helping you to find something that is more than a job – it’s about helping connect you with great jobs, jobs you can sink your teeth into, get passionate about, and use your skills to really help make the world more just and sustainable – because that’s the kind of world you want to see. To sum it up:
- Rewarding job listings with purpose.
- A variety of causes mainly in the not for profit sector and some in the for profit sector.
- Option to list your own resume via your dashboard to seek job proposals.
- Alerts for new jobs that suit your skills and an active community on facebook and twitter.
Employers + Headhunter
To find good people, you need to advertise in the right place…Please see the Advertise page for more info on listing your job.
What kind of jobs are on Do Good Jobs?
We are picky about whose jobs we choose to list – they’ve got to be about more than just profits. The types of jobs that are listed on Do Good Jobs must be either:
- development-related and/or be linked to the aid and development sector.
- environment-related and/or be linked to the environment/ sustainability sector.
- community-related (health, well-being etc) and/or be linked to the community sector.
- be a charity, not-for-profit, NGO, government agency or community group. For profit business may list roles (but have to be about more than just profit), and actively contribute to social and environmental change.
- at an organisation which is solely working towards social and environmental change (e.g an accountant within a development organisation), or a job within an organisation with the job focusing on social and environmental change (e.g A sustainability manager at the local council).
Please note, that a job listing posted on Do Good Jobs does not imply an endorsement of any one group, or their practices. Do Good Jobs provides access to adverts from a wide range of organisations. It is ultimately up to the user to decide the “good” nature of this role and what to apply for.
Who we are
Julia Capon – Founder
Julia has been working with not-for-profits since 2007, and she ain’t turning back! Her first job out of University was as the marketing manager of Trade Aid (2007-2010), and today works in Wellington at 350 Aotearoa, All Good Bananas and keeps this website running…
Julia is a board member of Global Focus Aotearoa (now the Global Focus Fund). With the closing of their development jobs board in 2011, she decided to launch this website to continue to offer a service for finding jobs that do good.
In her spare time Julia likes to: help make films (Julia directed a documentary on Venezuela), direct charity theatre productions, hablar en espanol, ride her bike in a skirt (no lycra thanks!), and get her hands dirty at the local community garden.
Amelia Smith -Support and Superstar
Amelia originally studied zoology and conservation biology but has since become interested in the interactions between environment, society, technology, economy, and governance. She has just graduated from the inaugural year of Otago Polytechnic’s Graduate Diploma in Sustainable Practice where she enjoyed being involved in the practical applications of social media and the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development.
