Mō te tūnga | About the role

As a Support Worker you will be supporting people with intellectual disabilities to enjoy great lives at home and as part of their community. This is meaningful work where you can be creative and make every day interesting in ways that are important to others.

We are looking for someone to join as a full-time Support Worker in a Planned Leave Cover (PLC) role. Our PLC roles cover staff leave, so they do not have a fixed shift pattern and will work in different facilities across the Counties area. Your fortnightly shift pattern will vary, but you are guaranteed at least 65 hours per fortnight. This role requires you to have availability to work a range of rostered shifts, including mornings, evenings, overnight sleepovers, and every second weekend.

Your role involves helping the people we support to:

• grow their independence and learn skills for daily living such as using public transport, getting a job, cooking a meal.
• manage their daily routines - shower, get dressed, take medication or eat a meal.
• pursue their goals, interests, and hobbies.
• stay healthy and making positive choices about their lifestyle.
• have strong connections with their whānau and community.
