Support Worker

**Residential, Respite & Family Partnerships Marlborough Community**

**New full-time position (80 hours a fortnight, as rostered)**

**Mission: Supporting people to live the best possible life**

**Ā mātou rōpū (About our team)**

Diversity enriches our lives, and you will work with people who are as unique as you; whether this be the people we support, or your team. The people we support have a variety of challenges they face daily, and we need you to walk alongside knowing that every day is not going to run smoothly. And you will love the challenge because a run-of -the-mill job is not for you

We are looking at new ways of how best to support disabled people (young and old) living on their own, with flatmates, or accessing respite while living in the family home. To bring about change we need people to join our team with fresh ideas and a focus on person centred thinking, embedding the principles of Enabling Good Lives (EGL) and increasing our cultural awareness through acknowledging Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

N.B. Live Life Disability Support are part of Te Whatu Ora (Nelson/Marlborough) however we are not medical/clinical service.
