Job description

Community Support Worker - Intellectual Disability

At Pact, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful, connected life.

We are a leading provider of community, vocational, and residential support across New Zealand. We support people with intellectual disabilities, mental health and addiction challenges, and young people, to reach their goals and build independence. Our passionate team walks alongside individuals, empowering them to thrive in a safe, positive, and inclusive environment.

About the Role

If you’re someone who enjoys a challenge and has experience (professional or lived) supporting people with complex needs, we’d love to hear from you.

In this role, you will :

  • Support people with disabilities as they set and achieve personal goals
  • Encourage participation in daily life and community activities
  • Provide practical assistance with routines, well-being, and skill-building
  • Model positive behaviours and foster confidence, resilience, and hope
  • Keep clear, accurate documentation to support progress
  • And most importantly, ensure the people you work with have fun and feel valued!

What you’ll bring

Our Dunedin team is looking for someone with :

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • A positive attitude and calm approach in challenging situations
  • A genuine passion for helping others grow and succeed
  • A full driver’s licence and basic computer skills
  • A relevant qualification (e.g. Level 4 Mental Health) — or willingness to work toward one once you’re on board
  • Must have the right to work in New Zealand
  • What will Pact offer you?

    At Pact, you’ll be part of a supportive, down-to-earth team that cares equally about our staff as we do the people we support. We offer you :

  • In-house training to ensure you have the skills and knowledge to support our clients best
  • $26.80 - $31.47 per hour based on qualification
  • Celebrate your milestones with Long Service benefits
  • Encouragement and support to achieve the NZQA Level 4 Qualification
  • Free Employee Assistance if you require additional, confidential support
  • Watch people grow and blossom whilst celebrating every achievement
  • Visit our website About Us - Pact Group to find out more about the fantastic work Pact does and / or submit your CV today and join us in empowering people in our community to live life to the fullest.

    Please do not apply unless you have the right to work in New Zealand, as we are unable to help with visa sponsorship.
