Permanent Part-time - 32 hours per week

$ $29.10 per hour

Wellington City location

At Spectrum Care, we provide support for adults with intellectual and/or physical disabilities to live great lives.

Being a Permanent Reliever means that no two days are the same. You will get to work with a wide variety and range of people from different backgrounds and with varying support needs. As a Permanent Reliever you will be expected to work across multiple homes and all types of shifts, depending on the staffing needs of the houses.

People with an intellectual disability want the same things as you and I. They just want someone to show them the way, not do it for them but to teach them. Support Workers are not carers. If you are observant, have real listening skills and appreciate diversity then you are off to a good start. We want people that can think on their feet, have energy to get out and about. People that are willing to get in a pool, not watch from the sides. You will need to adapt your communication style to fit our people's needs and be ready for a variety of opinions.

Skills & Experience

  • Empathy for the challenges of trying to build an ordinary life while living with a disability
  • Energy to keep up with someone who likes to be on the go a lot
  • Ability to remain calm, and calming, in all situations
  • Resilience to help people keep boundaries to ensure their safety
  • Good at explaining and negotiating
  • Ability to communicate effectively and supportively with family, colleagues and the person you support
  • Ability and willingness to provide support and motivation with personal cares and daily living skills

The Ideal Candidate Will Have

  • An interest in attaining a Community Support Worker Level Three or above qualification- we can support you to achieve this while you work
  • Experience supporting people with disabilities, and or mental health issues, and/or behaviours that can be challenging is desirable but not necessary
  • Reliability, commitment, and passion for working with people
  • A full New Zealand driver's license (essential)
  • Able to pass a NZ police check
  • The ability to use a computer effectively, including programs such as Word, Internet Explorer, and email
