Mō mātou | About Hōhepa

Working at Hōhepa is different from the average; you become part of our community of people, staff, volunteers, and contractors who all have a common goal - helping people to reach their full potential and lead enriched and meaningful lives in a holistic, supportive environment. We are a community leader providing services and support for people living with an intellectual disability to live their best lives and find a valued place in our society. Inspired by Dr Rudolf Steiner's principles of anthroposophy, we seek to understand each person and situation as unique, not a one size fits all philosophy.

Harikoa Service, located in Aidenfield, is home to four vibrant young women: Kelly, Rachel, Tracy, and Shelly. They are passionate about activities such as arts and crafts, cooking, swimming, singing, dancing, and shopping at malls or markets

We are seeking an experienced individual who can bring enthusiasm and creativity to support these young women in their diverse interests and passions. You will engage in activities like swimming and exercise, providing both support and companionship.

You will be energetic, empathetic, and able to work alongside this person focusing on creating a life of rich and diverse experiences while being able to read situations, problem-solve, and apply boundaries or offer space. Daily tasks include supporting with daily routines while encouraging independence to develop skills and personal growth. You will have the confidence to support personal cares, cooking, medication administration, and household tasks. You will be passionate about supporting and extending people's ability to access and be part of their wider community. If you are looking for a new challenge, this could be the opportunity for you.

This position's salary scale is set by pay equity and depends on qualification level, paying between $23.15 and $28.25 per hour.
