Our teams are our greatest asset, and we are committed to employing and training the best people. NZCL is looking for energetic and motivated individuals to support people in their own homes.

We are looking for full-time support workers to help the Rangatahi and Tamariki in our disability intensive support services in our Whanganui residential homes.

Our Support Workers assist Rangatahi and Tamariki who access our services to live as independently as possible in their community.

You will be someone who thrives on helping others and is committed to upholding high standards of care. Empathy, respect, and cultural awareness are important in this role as the people we support come from diverse backgrounds with varying needs and interests. Having experience with disability is an advantage; however, it is not essential.
