Support Worker

Renaissance Group was born in 2001 from humble beginnings a garage to be precise. Our organisation was inspired by a group of young disabled people in Auckland who were determined to live independently and never return to institutional care. Their vision was simple but powerful to live in their own homes, build friendships, be part of their communities, work, socialise and create meaningful lives just like anyone else.

That determination continues to guide everything we do. At Renaissance Group, we focus on choice, control and supporting disabled people to live the lives they choose.

We are currently seeking Support Workers to join our team in roles that support people in their homes and in the wider community.
