  • Work creatively with disabled adults, children, and their whānau to plan and develop the life they want, including how opportunities in the community could be accessed.
  • Identify opportunities and creative solutions to achieve life outcomes in line with the disabled person's will and preference.

What You Bring

  • A deep understanding of the Enabling Good Lives principles and approach, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability.
  • Experience supporting people to think creatively about their life opportunities and how to bring these opportunities into being.
  • Links within the communities we serve, including Māori, Pasifika, Rainbow (LGBTI+) people, those new to New Zealand, and Deaf culture.
