Support Workers (5x Positions)

  • $24.36 to $29.10 per hour
  • Part-time/Permanent roles

We are seeking five dedicated Support Workers to join our vibrant and passionate organisation. At Community Connections, we believe in doing things collectively, driven by our unwavering passion for empowering people with disabilities to live the lives they choose.

About Us

We are a community-based disability support provider that operates across much of the North Island. Our Vision is of an inclusive New Zealand where disabled people are embraced as fully participating citizens, where barriers to inclusion are removed, and where all people are respected and valued for who they are.

Community Connections is an Equal Employment Opportunities employer, and we love diversity in what we do and whom we employ. We are committed to Te Tiriti O Waitangi, the UN Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the NZ Disability strategy. We encourage people with lived experience of disability, mental health, Maori, Pasifika, people from other backgrounds and/or from LGBTQIA+ community to apply.

The Roles

We are searching for five outstanding individuals who are enthusiastic about helping others to reach their full potential. As a Support Worker, you will have the privilege of working closely with individuals in the community who have complex disabilities and assisting them in their journey towards independence and mastery of life skills.

You will join an amazing team providing 24/7 residential care for a young male. He is energetic, cheeky, with a love of tech and water. As part of his support team, you will play a vital role in helping him develop independence and master essential life skills.

We have five part-time positions available, each offering a unique schedule to suit different availability and commitments. One position offers 59.5 hours per fortnight, including wake-over shifts from 10:45 PM to 7:15 AM on a rostered basis. This role requires working one weekend every fortnight, providing flexibility while ensuring consistency in care.

Another position offers 48 hours per fortnight on a rostered basis, including sleepover shifts and weekend work. These roles provide an opportunity to be part of a dedicated team, supporting an energetic and engaging young man in his daily life while fostering his independence and well-being.

About You

Ideally, you will have experience in providing personal care and possess excellent communication skills. Your strong time management and problem-solving abilities will be essential in delivering effective support. Experience working with individuals with disabilities and challenging behaviours, along with an understanding of autism, will help you meet the specific needs of this service.

Your ability to think creatively will be invaluable in finding solutions to challenging situations. We are looking for someone who shares interests in technology and enjoys engaging in activities with enthusiasm.

Essential criteria for this role:
  • Experience working with individuals with Autism.
  • Full NZ Driver's license
  • Legal right to work in New Zealand
  • Certificate in Health and Wellbeing, Level 3 and above
  • Must be willing to undergo criminal and Oranga Tamariki checks
  • Valid first aid certificate
Why Join Us:

At Community Connections, we provide a supportive team environment where you can work alongside like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a positive impact on the community we support. We believe in providing opportunities for growth and development.

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and join a supportive team that values creativity, collaboration, and making a difference in the community, we want to hear from you
