We are committed to enabling good lives for all, with a strong focus on self-determination, early intervention, and person-centred support.

We are looking for a part-time Support Worker in Rotorua, to provide support for rangitahi, tamariki and the family, fostering their self-determination and empowering them to lead a valued life on their own terms.

Your tasks will encompass a range of activities including grocery shopping, meal planning, preparation and cooking, laundry, light cleaning, and household support. As a Support Worker, your goal is to provide assistance, so they are able to maintain their active participation in daily living, both at home and in the community.

  • Invest in creating a supportive environment for the family, focusing on their aspirations and independence rather than waiting for a crisis to arise.
  • Support tamariki or rangitahi to go to school or access education.
  • Observe and respond to health concerns or support the overall health and wellbeing of the young person.
  • Support rangitahi/young people to work towards and attain their goals and improve outcomes.

  • PB Tech discount when shopping online.
  • Discounted 2Degrees phone and broadband plans.
  • Discounted Southern Cross Health Insurance.
  • Employee Assistance Program service anytime you need health and wellbeing support.
Who are we looking for? - Ko wai ta tatou e rapu ana?
  • People who are passionate about helping others, are kind and understanding.
  • A desire to support our rangitahi/young people to learn new skills and achieve outcomes.
  • Previous experience working with young people/rangitahi.
  • Full driver's licence and owning your own vehicle is essential.
  • Somebody who has the initiative to push people for their goals, is energetic, outgoing, and can think outside the box. You need to be respectful of others thinking, and their way of living life that may be different to your own.

Empathy, respect, and cultural awareness is important in this role as the people we support come from diverse backgrounds with varying needs and interests.

If you are passionate about supporting people, then maybe there is a role for you here. Send your request to NZCL.

Please bear in mind all applicants must be a NZ Resident/Citizen or have a valid NZ work permit.
