Mō te tūnga | About the role

As a Support Worker, you will be supporting people with intellectual disabilities to enjoy great lives at home and as part of their community. This is meaningful work where you can be creative and make every day interesting in ways that are important to others.

We are looking for someone to join as a full-time Support Worker in a Planned Leave Cover (PLC) role. Our PLC roles cover staff leave, so they do not have a fixed shift pattern and will work in different facilities across the West Auckland area. Your fortnightly shift pattern will vary, but you are guaranteed at least 65 hours per fortnight. This role requires you to have flexible availability to work a range of rostered shifts, including mornings, evenings, overnight sleepovers, and every second weekend.

The role involves helping the people we support to:

  • grow their independence and learn skills for daily living such as using public transport, getting a job, cooking a meal.
  • manage their daily routines - shower, get dressed, take medication or eat a meal.
  • pursue their goals, interests, and hobbies.
  • stay healthy and make positive choices about their lifestyle.
  • have strong connections with their whānau and community.

Nōu te rourou | What's in it for you?

  • $23.84-$29.10 depending on relevant qualifications, with the ability to earn more as you gain qualifications.
  • IDEA Services will support you towards completion of the Level 2, 3 and 4 Certificates in Health and Wellbeing qualifications.
  • Generous long service leave entitlements plus insurance benefits after 2 years' service.
  • 'Refer a friend' Bonus programme.
  • FREE Employee Assistance programme service anytime you need health and wellbeing support.

IDEA Services supports adults with intellectual disabilities to live in their own homes and enjoy life as part of their communities. We are New Zealand's largest provider of services to people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Our services are founded on IHC's commitment for people with intellectual disabilities to have a good life and to be valued contributors to and members of their own community.
