Support Workers - Live Life Disability Support (Nelson) January to March 2025
  • Nelson, Tasman, Motueka locations
  • Permanent – full-time and part-time, Fixed term and Casual opportunities

Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora is firmly grounded in the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and is dedicated to serving all New Zealanders. Through integration and collaboration, we're building a health system underpinned by partnership, equity, sustainability, whānau-centred care, and excellence.

About the Role

You'll be helping people to join in community activities and events, drive people to appointments and catch-ups, as well as supporting people with their personal care and household jobs. Knowing you're making a positive impact in someone's life can truly have the same effect on your own.

We have a variety of positions available working a range of shifts and hours including weekends.

  • Your hourly rate will be $25.37 to $31.13 an hour, dependent upon your qualifications as recognized under the Care and Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement Act 2017.
  • Sleepovers (10.00PM to 7.00AM) are paid at the adult minimum wage rate.

If you're looking for a role that benefits you as well as those you'll be around each day, this is it.

You can work in the way that works best for you - whether that's full-time or part-time, or morning, afternoon/evening, overnight or casual shifts. You'll be supported to achieve your Levels 2, 3 and 4 Health and Wellbeing Certificate.

About the Team/Service/Location

Live Life Disability Support (LLDS) provides support to people who have disabilities to live great lives in the Nelson Marlborough community.

We support people to manage their day-to-day lives in ways and at times that work for them. The people we support have a wide range of abilities, gifts, and challenges. We actively encourage people to pursue their dreams and try out new experiences, and can guarantee that no two days working at Live Life DSS are ever the same.

Our main locations are Nelson and Wairau Hospitals, but we are spread across the region and service all parts of the community. Our work can be challenging, but we are up for it. We have a great team and we work hard to make a difference.

We value integrity, innovation, respect, and teamwork.
