Make a difference with practical support and connection

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - East Auckland

🌼Do you want a part time job with a meaningful impact?
🌼Are you a calm, organised and friendly person?
🌼Would you like to work 5-15 hours per week in Botany


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: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
