As a Support Worker you will support people (with your wider Hōhepa Whānau) to find and follow their needs and dreams; making friends, having fun, connecting and contributing to their local communities, continuing to grow personally, and to find work, education, and other meaningful occupation. We are looking for people who are energetic, passionate and resilient to support our people. This is a rewarding job, but does have its challenges, you will be working alongside people with intellectual disabilities, who can present with a wide range of behaviours so internal resilience and strength is needed. You need to be a natural teacher, be observant and intuitive, genuinely respectful and appreciative of diversity, and be kind, fun and patient. That's a big ask, so we need a really special team.
