We are looking for energetic and motivated people to join our team of Whanau (family) support workers in the Rotorua area to support tamariki (school-aged children) and taitamariki (youth and teenagers) with their needs and to help them enjoy activities and build confidence in their homes and communities.

- Earn competitive pay rates between $23.38 up to $29.10 per hour.
- Earn while you learn with free training towards NZQA Health & Wellbeing qualifications.
