About the role | He kōrero whakamārama mō tēnei tūranga

There are several opportunities available to join a long-standing, values-driven not-for-profit organisation that provides Supported Living services—walking alongside people as they build confidence, strengthen skills, and stay connected to the people, places, and activities that matter most.

In these roles, you will walk alongside people as they dream big, set personal goals, make new friends, and strengthen their confidence in themselves and their place in the community. Every day brings the chance to celebrate progress, encourage independence, and support meaningful moments.
