We're looking for team members to help kids and teenagers with intellectual disabilities to feel safe and have fun while staying at our respite house in **Titahi Bay**.
You will need to know how to liven things up, and calm things down, to notice how children are feeling, and to provide them with guidance, comfort or support as needed. You will need to be vigilant, warm, and creative. Additionally, as the children have a vast range of communication styles, an ability or interest in learning to find effective ways to communicate is very much preferred.

- To enjoy working with kids
- To be a great communicator.
- The empathy and willingness to support children with their personal cares, such as bathing, dressing and toileting
- You need to be fit enough for a moderately active role
- Basic computer skills
- A full driver's licence is essential
**What you'll get from us**:
- A supportive and collaborative work environment
- Development opportunities and continuing education - we provide support to obtain NZQA Level 2, 3 and 4 Health and Wellbeing qualifications
- The opportunity to support people with disabilities to live great lives
If you are interested in supporting children and young people to develop self-confidence and independence, and live their lives of choice, lives like any other, in their own communities, then we want to hear from you today
