This page is where you can find recently updated information on the availability of places for workers under the SSE category. The contact details of Regional Labour Co-ordinators and employers who have been granted approval in principle under the SSE category can also be found here. Useful links to more information related to the SSE category are provided below.
Immigration New Zealand in consultation with the Ministry of Social Development has determined that there are positions of employment available for SSE workers.
Regional Labour Co-ordinators work for the horticulture and viticulture industries to find workers for seasonal jobs. They can help find employment with an SSE-approved employer in the regions where there are available positions.
Given the seasonal nature of positions in the horticulture and viticulture industries employers do not always have positions for all the SSE workers they have been approved for. It is recommended that you contact a Seasonal Labour Co-ordinator before you apply for an SSE work visa.
Currently, positions may be available in Central Otago only. Please contact the Central Otago Seasonal Labour Co-ordinator before applying for your SSE work visa:
