Our aim is to support people to live as independently as possible, for as long as possible and to maintain their independence regardless of age, injury, illness or disability.

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

We are currently looking for Casual Support Workers in the Christchurch to assist clients with daily living and personal goals during Holiday period.

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.

You will earn between $ $29.68 per hour, depending on experience and qualification.

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.
