This type of service supports the mission of Te Roopu Taurima by providing both residential and vocational support with a priority focus on lifestyle and rehabilitation programmes.


You will work alongside our tāngata supporting them in their rehabilitation and journey of change while supporting with every day needs such as bathing, food preparation, administering medication and a variety of other duties which enable an independent and great quality of life.
