About the role | He kōrero whakamārama mō tēnei tūranga

We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated role models who are keen to make a positive difference to the tamariki and rangatahi we support in our residential and community services.

This role does require availability across all shifts 7am – 3pm, 3pm – 11pm and 11pm – 7am.

The young people we support may experience significant obstacles in their lives, which at times requires a trauma informed approach. So as a Youth Support Worker, you would be a role model and mentor, helping youth to build self-esteem, resilience and confidence, alongside encouraging meaningful opportunities within their community.

This is an opportunity to make a real difference in shaping a young person's life, fostering emotional and social development and guiding them through the complexities of adolescence. A good understanding of Positive Behaviour Support is desirable along with relevant Health and Wellbeing qualifications.

Our Support Workers uphold CCT values of Respect (Whakaute), Reliability (Pono), Transparency (Puataata) and Responsiveness (Whakautu)

We work in partnership with adults and youth across Te Waipounamu (The South Island) who need some support in their lives to achieve their goals. We work alongside people to ensure they live the life they want and achieve their dreams and aspirations as valued and contributing people within their community.

CCT Youth Services in Nelson (Whakatū) include emergency housing, transitional housing, and Individual Care Response in a 24/7 supported environment, and community supports within the school, home, or community.

Our organisation has a strong commitment to safeguarding children and any employees will be vetted to a level appropriate to the role for which they have applied.
