Who are we looking for? | Ko wai tā tātou e rapu ana

We’re looking for people who genuinely care about others and are passionate about making a difference. You’ll bring a kind, patient, and understanding approach, along with strong communication skills.

Ideally, you’ll have experience in a healthcare setting, particularly working with rangatahi, and an understanding of intellectual disability and autism. Experience supporting people with seizures would be a bonus.

You’ll also need a full driver’s license and access to your own vehicle.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys supporting others to grow—helping them build skills, achieve their goals, and live life their way. You’re proactive, energetic, and not afraid to think outside the box. You respect different perspectives and support people in a way that reflects their individual choices and lifestyles.

Empathy, respect, and cultural awareness is important in this role as the people we support come from diverse backgrounds with varying needs and interests.

If you are passionate about supporting people, then maybe there is a role for you here. Send your request to NZCL.
