Part-time hours available - Based in Kaitaia

8 hours per week; 10.30 am until 2.30 pm every Wednesday and Thursday

CCS Disability Action's vision is to see every disabled person/whānau hauā interwoven into the lives of their whānau and community.

We are the largest pan-disability support and advocacy organisation in New Zealand. Since 1935, we have been at the forefront of service provision, advocacy, and information sharing, working closely with disabled people / whānau hauā and their families across New Zealand.

We are looking for a Community Support Worker to work with an adult living in Kaitaia who needs support to attend the pre-planned community activities of their choice. They need a support worker who is reliable, patient and fun.

We would love to hear from you if you:

• Have a passion for supporting others to lead good lives
• Share CCS Disability Action's values, supporting disabled people to be connected within their whānau and communities, and respecting that wellbeing looks different for everyone
• Have strong connections to the community
• Are willing to use your diverse background and identity to expand how we support people.
• Are reliable, can work independently and communicate effectively
• Have a Health Care Assistant Qualification or a Level 2 or 3 equivalent - this is preferred but not essential. All training will be provided
• Have a full driver's license and a reliable vehicle with current WOF and registration. Part of this work includes transporting the person we support. Mileage will be paid at agreed rate.

What we offer:

• Competitive Pay - Our baseline remuneration rate is on average $1 higher than other providers.
• Work in a Friendly Supportive Environment
• Employee Assistance Programme - free confidential counselling sessions
• Supervision - regular check in with your line manger
• Training and Development - opportunities and support to grow and expand your skills and knowledge
• We Value Employee Wellbeing - In addition to standard Annual Leave allocation you receive an extra Wellbeing Day leave each year

We work within a human rights framework and are committed to equal opportunity in all our employment policies and procedures. We welcome enquiries from everyone and value diversity in our workforce. We openly encourage disabled people to apply.
