Christchurch, New Zealand Healthcare of New Zealand Full time

At NZCommunity Living, we are dedicated to support people with disabilities in New Zealand. Our Whānau Support Services reflect our belief that all New Zealanders deserve to live fully, have equal opportunities, and achieve their ambitions.

We are looking for part time Community Support Workers in the Canterbury region for our Whānau Support and Supported Living Services.

**What does a Support Worker do?**

The role of a support worker is diverse, and no two days are the same. We are currently seeking people who can be a mentor/companion to those living with disabilities. This role is to support them to continue to live independently, by assisting with budgeting, meal preparation, assisting in daily living, taking them to fun activities in the community and more. Making sure the person is at the centre of everything you do, and that the person lives a rich and fulfilling life. This role may also involve looking after younger children, supporting them to reach their goals and aspirations, while also giving the whānau some respite.

**What is in it for you?**
- Earn competitive pay rates between $22.70 up to $28.25 per hour
- Variety of shifts, travel allowance, mobile phone
- Earn while you learn with free training towards NZQA Health & Wellbeing
- Employee Assistance programme service anytime you need health and wellbeing support
- 'Refer a friend' Bonus

**Who are we looking for?**
- People who are passionate about helping others, are kind and understanding.
- Previous experience in a healthcare setting preferred, including experience with disabilities and challenges behaviours, but not necessary.
- Availability to work after school hours and weekends is essential. Full driver's license and owning your own vehicle is essential.
- Whilst experience in supporting people would be an advantage, it is not a necessity for those with the right attitude. We are seeking somebody who has the initiative to push people for their goals, is energetic, outgoing, and can think outside the box. You need to be respectful of others thinking, and their way of living life that may be different to your own.

Empathy, respect, and cultural awareness is important in this role as the people we support come from diverse backgrounds with varying needs and interests.

Mēnā he tangata ngākaunui ana koe ki te tautoko i ngā momo tāngata, tēnā pea, kei konei he tūranga mōu. Tukua mai tō tono ki NZCommunity Living.

Please bear in mind all applicants must be a NZ Resident/Citizen or have a valid NZ work permit.
