Work and Income Job Search: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Find vetted job listings in New Zealand through this official service designed to connect job seekers with verified employment opportunities.

This service provides a way to find and access job listings that have been specifically vetted for people receiving benefits. It acts as a bridge between job seekers and verified employment opportunities within New Zealand.

Who it's for

This scheme is available to anyone who is legally authorized to work in New Zealand. Whether you are a citizen or hold the necessary legal permits to hold employment, you are eligible to use this resource to find work.

What you get

You receive direct access to a curated list of job openings. These listings are vetted for beneficiaries, meaning the roles have been checked to ensure they are suitable for those participating in the Work and Income system. This helps you find legitimate job opportunities that match your current situation.

What it costs you

Using this service is entirely free. There are no subscription fees or application charges to browse the listings. The only requirement is that you must have a RealMe login to access the secure parts of the portal.

The catch to know

It is important to manage your expectations regarding the types of roles available. Many of the jobs listed through this service are entry-level positions. While it is a helpful tool for finding immediate work, you should not expect to find executive-level or high-level management roles through this specific platform.

How to apply

  1. Ensure you have your RealMe login details ready.
  2. Go to the official job search portal online.
  3. Log in to the system to view the full list of vetted vacancies.
  4. Review the available listings to find a role that matches your skills and availability.
