About the role | He kōrero whakamārama mō tēnei tūranga

This is a full-time opportunity with a long-standing not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting people to live independently, participate in their communities, and build meaningful connections.

This full-time role is worked across Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, offering a consistent weekly routine.

In this role, you will walk alongside people as they meet new friends, set and achieve personal goals, develop skills, and strengthen their links within the community.

You will bring a respectful, person-centred approach to personal care, always upholding each individual’s dignity, autonomy, and wellbeing.
