Christchurch, New Zealand Hohepa Canterbury Full time

Mo matou | About Hohepa
Working at Hohepa 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.
Mo te turanga | About the Role
Sutherland House, located at Hohepa's main campus, is looking for an energetic and empathetic individual to join our team.
This role involves creating enriching experiences tailored to the unique needs and preferences of those we support, especially Beth.
Beth finds joy in visiting sensory rooms, engaging in music therapy, going for drives, shopping, coloring, visiting cafes or bakeries with her family, and helping staff in the kitchen.
She also cherishes regular visits to her mother.
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 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.

Tuesday to Saturday 3pm to 11pm

Total Hours per fortnight: 80
Mo koe | About You
Your aroha and approach are what really matter at Hohepa – previous experience is not a prerequisite because we provide on-the-job training.
You will either be an experienced Support Worker looking for a change or simply looking for a career where your enthusiasm and passion for helping others will make a real difference in people's lives.
To thrive in a Support Worker role at Hohepa you will be:

Self-motivated, energetic, and flexible with a high level of initiative.
A team player - work closely with and support your colleagues, creating a great team environment.
A kind nature with a can-do attitude and willingness to learn and continue to develop your skills as a support worker.
A commitment to upholding the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in all aspects of the role.

At Hohepa the role of a Support Coordinator is what is often referred to in the wider healthcare sector as a Support Worker.
We feel that the title Support Coordinator better reflects the nature of the role, which requires working in partnership with the people receiving support to ensure we are achieving our organisation mission of every life fully lived.
