Senior Housekeeper – Christchurch

RMHC New Zealand supports families with a child in hospital away from home. 

The Ronald McDonald House® and Ronald McDonald Family Room® programmes take care of the practical things in life – like finding and paying for a place to sleep near the hospital, organising meals and paying for parking – so families can focus on their child staying in a hospital away from home.

Simply, we give families with a hospitalised child what they need most — each other.

We are part of a global network which is now over 40 years old and RMHC has Houses operating in over 62 countries.
