Full-time positions (80 hours a fortnight, as

**Mission**: Supporting people to live the
best possible life
Ā mātou rōpū (About our team)
Diversity enriches
our lives, and you will work with people who are as unique as you; whether this
be the people we support, or your team. The people we support have a variety of
challenges they face daily, and we need you to walk alongside knowing that
every day is not going to run smoothly. And you will love the challenge because
a run-of - the-mill job is not for you
We are looking at
new ways of how best to support disabled people (young and old) living on their
own, with flatmates, or accessing respite while living in the family home. To
bring about change we need people to join our team with fresh ideas and a focus
on person centred thinking, embedding the principles of Enabling Good Lives
(EGL) and increasing our cultural awareness through acknowledging Te Tiriti o
Waitangi.
N.B. Live Life Disability Support are part of Te Whatu Ora
(Nelson/Marlborough) however we are not medical/clinical service.
