We are seeking dedicated Support Workers to join our exceptional Palmerston North team! At Community Connections, we don’t just work together; we laugh, we share, and we collaborate passionately to empower individuals with disabilities to live the lives they choose!

About Us

Community Connections is a values-driven disability support provider working across the North Island. Our vision is an inclusive Aotearoa, where disabled people are respected, supported, and free to live life on their own terms, within the community they choose.

We are proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunities employer, committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the New Zealand Disability Strategy. We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds, especially those with lived experience of disability or mental health, Māori, Pasifika, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

About the Role

Your role is vital in enhancing the lives of the individuals we support. Whether you are preparing meals, maintaining clean spaces, or enjoying time outdoors, your presence helps create meaningful and positive experiences. The people you will support engage in various activities such as walking, visiting local malls, arts and crafts, or spending time with their families. Some enjoy quiet moments doing puzzles or knitting, while others thrive on music, movies, or team activities like kapa haka.
