Part-time Support Worker

About us

At Community Connections, we believe everyone deserves to live the life they choose, on their own terms and in their own community. We are a North Island–wide disability support provider, guided by our vision of an inclusive Aotearoa where barriers are removed and every person is valued.

Our mahi is guided by our values — Honour People & Their Stories, Build Capability, Check it’s Right, and Celebrate Diversity, Challenge & Success — together with our commitment to Mana Waiora, which upholds identity, connection, and self-determination. We are grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and dedicated to supporting people with disabilities from all walks of life to live the lives they choose.

The Role

We are seeking a passionate Support Worker to empower individuals with complex disabilities and help them achieve independence. Your role will involve daily support in personal care, meal preparation, and household tasks for an active individual who enjoys walks, swimming, and an energetic lifestyle. You’ll be part of a compassionate team providing 24 / 7 residential support in a safe and engaging environment. This is a part-time position of 48 hours per fortnight, worked on a rotating roster.

As the roster includes weekends, flexibility to work weekends is required.

About You

We are seeking a motivated and experienced Support Worker to assist an individual who leads an active lifestyle, enjoying daily walks of 5 to 10 kilometres and swimming in pools and the ocean.

The ideal candidate should be able to keep up with this level of activity and possess strong time management and problem-solving skills. Experience with individuals displaying challenging behaviours and a solid understanding of autism and intellectual disabilities is highly desirable. You should feel confident participating in daily walks (5–10 km) and be comfortable around water.

We are seeking a motivated team player who can follow support plans and assist the individuals we serve in living their best lives. Our goal is to create a workplace where everyone can thrive and contribute to the best of their abilities.
