mental health supporter in Hillsborough
Do you love to make a genuine connection with others?
Do you want to know you are making a positive impact?
This could be the role for you!
We are looking for a compassionate and engaging support person for a young man in Hillsborough. You need to be friendly, patient, calm and able to adjust your style to match this young man when his energy is low.
He thrives having someone alongside him when he is out and about, or to chat with on the days when things are a little rough. Someone who can promote social skills, healthy living and independence would be amazing. He loves gaming and coding, and heading to the gym when he can.
Some understanding of mental health and Aspergers would be an advantage, but reliability and engagement are the keys we are looking for. The role is about 5 hours a week, ideally during the day, but we can work the hours around what works best for you. A driver’s licence and your own vehicle are needed for this role.
If this sounds like the job you have been looking for, we would love to chat with you. Please 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

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!
