What kinds of jobs require a valid Right to Work in New Zealand?
It is a legal requirement for all New Zealand employers to ensure any individual they employ has the right to work in New Zealand. There are various Right to Work conditions, depending on whether you're a New Zealand citizen, or what type of working visa you hold. Every employer will have their own preference of what they will accept.For job seekers who do not currently have New Zealand working rights, you may be interested in jobs on SEEK with 'sponsorship available'.
