HealthCare NZ is a leading provider of in-home and community-based health, rehabilitation, nursing, mental health, and disability support. Our aim is to support people to live as independently as possible, for as long as possible and to maintain their independence regardless of age, injury, illness, or disability.

Are you looking to make a real difference in your community? We are currently looking for empathetic and passionate Support Workers to work across our Community Services in Christchurch. Whether you are looking for flexibility around other commitments or would prefer regular rostered shifts, we have a variety of permanent (full-time and part-time) options to offer.

**What does a Support Worker do?**

As part of a wider team, you will assist our clients to live as independently as possible, within their homes and community. You will help our clients to achieve their goals and reach their potential, through both practical and emotional support. Responsibilities can be varied, and you will follow a care plan, which may include some or all of the below:

- Meal preparation
- Community outings and integration
- Giving medication
- Personal cares (showering, toileting etc)
- Home management (housework)

**What's in it for you?**

We are committed to our employees and are proud to employ and train the best people in all areas of our organisation.

- Earn while you learn with free training towards NZQA Health & Wellbeing.
- Travel allowance and work phone.
- Employee Assistance program service anytime you need health and wellbeing support.

This is an opportunity to join New Zealand's largest community healthcare provider with the potential to gain experience in a variety of disciplines including aged care, disability, mental health and rehabilitation. Whilst you will be part of a large national organisation, you will join a dedicated and close-knit team.

**What are we looking for?**
- Attitude - a desire to help and support others, achieving excellence in all you do
- Previous healthcare or care-giving experience is desirable, although not essential
- Excellent communication skills
- Healthcare qualifications are advantageous.
- Most positions require a full NZ drivers' licence and your own reliable transport.

At HealthCare New Zealand, we are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity and reflects the communities we serve. If you are passionate about what you do and are interested in exploring a rewarding career with us, then we would love to hear from you
