Job description

Community Support Worker – Supported Independent Living – Wellington

Spectrum Care is looking for energetic, compassionate individuals to join our Supported Independent Living team — helping people with disabilities live ordinary, extraordinary lives.

About Supported Independent Living

Supported Independent Living (SIL) empowers adults with physical and intellectual disabilities to live in their own homes and be active members of their communities. We provide tailored, one‑on‑one support that helps people build routines, develop life skills, and pursue personal goals.

About the Role

As a Community Support Worker, you will provide one‑on‑one support to adults with physical and intellectual disabilities in their homes and communities. Your work is dynamic, person‑led, and shaped by each individual’s goals, interests, and aspirations.

Responsibilities

  • Explore hobbies and passions — from music and art to sports and animals
  • Build daily routines that support independence and wellbeing
  • Connect with local clubs, community spaces, and interest groups
  • Discover volunteering, education, or employment opportunities
  • Strengthen social confidence and relationships
  • Navigate everyday tasks such as personal care, household chores, and community outings

Who You Are

You bring creativity, empathy, and a genuine love for people. You might be into art, music, dog walking, sports, gardening, gaming, baking, or anything that sparks joy and connection.

Additional Qualities

  • Organised and reliable
  • Patient and calm in all situations
  • A great communicator with families, colleagues, and the people you support
  • Comfortable with personal care and daily living support
  • Passionate about inclusion, empowerment, and community engagement
  • What You’ll Need

  • A full NZ driver’s licence – or actively working towards one
  • Excellent verbal and written English
  • Ability to pass a NZ police check
  • Basic computer skills (Word, email, internet)
  • Willingness to learn – we support you to gain a Level 3 qualification in Community Support Work
  • Required to attend a 2‑week paid induction
  • Experience with disability, mental health, or behaviours that challenge is helpful but not essential
  • Requirements for Non‑Resident Applicants

  • Have worked in the care workforce for 3 years or more, and been paid at least the care workforce wage rate during that time
  • A relevant qualification on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF) – at least a level 4 qualification for a role at skill level 3, or a diploma for a role at skill level 2
  • Benefits

    Casual position, $23.50 – $29.10 per hour, support hours 6am – 9pm Monday to Sunday, flexible to suit staff and supports.

    Equal Opportunity Employer

    Spectrum Care is proudly an equal opportunity employer.
