**Are you looking to make a real difference in your community?**

We are currently looking for empathetic and passionate Support Workers across our different services including Community & Rehabilitation, Disability and Social Services. 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 on offer.

**We are seeking Community Support Workers who are available to work weekdays and weekends.**

**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.

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.
