As our services continue to grow, Community Care Trust Aotearoa would love to welcome new Support Workers to our Supported Living Services here in Dunedin. We have part-time and casual opportunities available across our services.
Our services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so availability to work weekends is essential. We’ll talk with you about your availability and do our best to match this with the needs of the people we support.
About the role | He kōrero whakamārama mō tēnei tūranga
In our Supported Living Services, we walk alongside people as they build independence, stay connected, and take part in the communities they call home.
As a Support Worker, you will build genuine, meaningful relationships and support people to develop life skills, work towards their goals, and connect with their communities. Our approach is person-centred and strengths-based, recognising that behaviour is a form of communication and responding with compassion, patience and trauma-informed practice.
We’d love to hear from people who are calm, resilient, non-judgemental and solutions-focused, and who bring warmth, patience, and a genuine interest in supporting others to build confidence, independence and positive life outcomes.
