Description At NZCL, we are dedicated to supporting disabled people in New Zealand. Our Disability Support Services reflect our belief that all people deserve to live fully, have equal opportunities, and achieve their ambitions.
You will be part of a team that provides a safe environment where people can develop confidence and new skills, build friendships with peers, and interact with others in the community. Our teams are our greatest asset, and we are committed to employing and training the best people. NZCL is looking for energetic and motivated individuals to support people in their own homes.
We are looking for casual support workers to help the Rangatahi and Tamariki in our disability intensive support services in our Wellington residential homes. We have residential homes all around Wellington, including Kapiti and Lower Hutt/Upper Hutt.
About the Role Our Support Workers assist Rangatahi and Tamariki who access our services to live as independently as possible in their community.

Why Us We are committed to our employees and are proud to employ and train the best people in all areas of our organisation.
You will thrive on helping others and be committed to upholding high standards of care. Empathy, respect, and cultural awareness are important in this role as the people we support come from diverse backgrounds with varying needs and interests. Experience with disability is an advantage; however, it is not essential.
Minimum Requirements A desire to support our Rangatahi and Tamariki to learn new skills and achieve outcomes
Prior experience supporting others with aspects of daily living, preferably those living with intellectual or physical disabilities
Ideally experience working with children or youth
