Hours:

TechMate is a volunteer powered charity dedicated to closing the digital divide.

We support people across Waitaha with free digital skills coaching, tech support, access to repurposed laptops through Recycle a Device, and internet through the Skinny Jump programme.

Our volunteers help everyone, from seniors to job seekers, to connect and thrive in the digital world. We are open to all, fostering a stronger, more connected community.

As a digital coach you will be helping to support members of the public navigate this increasingly digital world through one-on-one learning and support sessions.

You do not need to be a technical whizz but use devices in your everyday life and be prepared to share your knowledge with others.

This volunteering position is based in Hoon Hay, but additional volunteering opportunities are available at our office in Christchurch Central.

  • Patient and a good listener

  • Able to communicate clearly and without the use of a lot of tech jargon

  • Comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds

  • Confident with the basics of using devices for essential daily use (online banking, emails, texting)

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

Currently 2 hours a month. First Thursday of the month 10:30am - 12:30pm. However we would like to increase this in the future so more availability would be ideal.
