Jobs at Wellington Women's House

Wellington Women’s House is a safe and comfortable home for women on low incomes who need supporting finding permanent housing.

Wellington Women’s House is a non-religious, women-centred organisation. It's suitable for women who are on their own and who can live fairly independently. We don't have children or couples living in the House.

The House is close to the city centre. It’s a large old villa, with a sun-soaked front garden and a warm, welcoming feeling inside. There’s a shared lounge to gather and talk or watch TV in, a sitting room where residents can access a computer (and wifi), and a fantastic kitchen where the women can cook alongside each other.

We have 16 rooms at the house, and most women stay between 3 and 6 months — we don't provide short-term stay options. Our residents come from a wide range of backgrounds, and may include women:

• newly arrived in Wellington
• who need the company of others
• in transition between homes
• who have left a harmful or unsafe environment.

Residents only need to provide their own food and personal items during their stay, and the House provides the rest.

Our vision is that every woman in Wellington has a safe and comfortable home that enables her to meet her needs.
