• Could you be a great peer support for a young adult?
• Live near Pukekohe?
• Fun afternoons whilst encouraging growth and development.

This is a great job for someone wanting to make a difference and having fun at the same time! This young man is looking for a peer support. In his early 20’s and loves dancing (hip hop) and reading adult/teen fiction/futuristic books like Ready Player One and Wonder. Come and spend time hanging out. He’d love to tell you about his dancing, and love of sci-fi books whilst also developing his independence skills.

Some support to get his home jobs done like the dishes, laundry and some cleaning is needed. Being able to show him some basic cooking too would be fantastic. Have fun teaching him how to use the buses and trains. A combination of community activities, household support and someone to have a laugh and joke with. This sensitive guy is looking for a role model, someone who can show him how to be confident and navigate the world. You do need a full licence and access to a car for this job to work.

We need someone 3 times per week for 2 hours on Tuesday to Thursday and another day which is flexible (maybe Wednesday). Start time is flexible as long as it's during the daytime, no evenings.

Do you think you have the skills and personality to make a difference? Contact us today!

Are you looking for a people focused night shift role?
A young disabled man is looking for your help!

He lives at home with his family and needs quite a bit of support to look after his wellbeing and keep him engaged. We are looking for someone to take on a night support role so his parents can sleep knowing someone else is there to support him. He is a fun and engaging guy, who needs someone around him to keep him safe.

The night shift role involves supporting him to get ready for bed, overseeing his medication and then doing some tasks while he sleeps. He has some fancy technology in place, that someone needs to keep an eye on – no experience needed, just someone to listen for a warning beep and respond if needed. Basically, this role requires someone patient, compassionate and able to pay attention when needed. When he doesn’t sleep you two can watch TV, play games or you can read to him.

The shifts are 7pm – 7am, we can be flexible around what days you would like to work, but we need someone 3 or 4 days per week.

There are day shifts available to support him after school and in the weekends if that suits your schedule better.

This high school student needs help with most parts of his day, including personal care tasks and his overall safety. You don’t need to have experience supporting people like this, we can teach you the details - if you have the heart and the personality to step into his life then we want to chat with you.

We are looking for someone to help this young man fill his days with fun and engagement, while looking out for his safety and wellbeing. He loves spending time with people who are confident, dependable and happy to chat with him, although he won’t use a lot of words to chat back with you.

His family are looking for someone to spend the afternoons and/or weekends with him. You would hang out watching TV or spending some time outside. He loves to be in the water and to engage with others.

We need people 2.30pm-7pm on weekdays and for 8-12 hour shifts on Saturday & Sunday (you can pick the hours). We have overnight wakeover hours (7pm - 7am) as well if you are interested. If you are interested in picking up a mix of any of these days then get in touch.

Are you reliable and good with people?

We are looking for a Waiuku local who could help out a man in his 60’s with a disability. He is looking for someone reliable and engaging to help him get around in the community. He is a friendly, chatty guy who needs someone to lend him a hand on weekday mornings and afternoons to get to and from work.

Ideally you would work 8/8.30 – 9am and 4 – 5/5.30pm Monday to Friday (about 10 hours per week). He would pay you for your time and your mileage (and he doesn’t mind if you drop him off while dropping your kids at school or getting yourself to another job). In that afternoon slot some flexibility would be great to support him at the supermarket, cleaning his home or helping him with the tasks that he finds hard because he is blind. Sometimes he does need to venture further from Waiuku (like to a training course in Penrose), your availability to support him with something like that would be amazing if possible.
