Our mobile services are designed to meet people where they are, offering support in the environment that best suits their needs—whether it’s in their home, workplace, or within their community. We empower tāngata whai ora to choose the setting that feels right for them.

Our team provides personalized, one-to-one support or group-based assistance, tailored to help individuals and their whānau lead full, connected, and meaningful lives.

We also provide it when people most need it, so we’re normally available seven days a week.

Our support includes :

• talking and connecting
• understanding your needs
• helping you achieve everyday activities
• identifying goals and helping achieve these goals
• creating a connection with the community
• living a healthy life and improving physical health
• medication support
• securing and thriving in training or a job.

As tāngata whai ora have different needs, we tailor the amount and types of support we provide to each person. This changes as needs and preferences change.

We are looking for skillful, flexible Kaimahi (staff) that can work with wide range of people and be a team player.
