Our ideal candidate would be someone kind, engaging and sensible. We are looking for someone to support a quiet and peaceful 22 year old woman with an intellectual disability. She needs someone to help her in the afternoons. This role is a beautiful balance between practical and relationship focused.
This young lady needs help with practical tasks like showering and getting dressed, but she also needs someone to spend her afternoons with. Things like helping around the house and chatting about the day, having some fun, while building a trusting relationship. On a Monday she is looking for an activity buddy, to head to the library, dance class or to do some baking.
This role is Monday 10am – 3pm and Tuesday to Friday from 4pm – 5.30pm in Botany, with some flexibility for the right person. These hours could be all done by one person or shared by two. There may be some hours on a Saturday as well if you want them.
If you are interested please get in touch, we would love to chat to you about the opportunity: email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message
Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
