Afternoons of fun whilst supporting disabled teenager
Afternoons of fun whilst supporting disabled teenager
Are you a bubbly, happy, caring support person?
Physically fit
Regular hours in Millwater
A family in Millwater are looking for two people to share this job over the week including weekends to support and spend time with their 16yr old disabled son.
This is a fun job for the right person. Playing games and laughing at the things he laughs at. He loves trucks, lorries, and trains. He loves silliness, people who are bubbly, fun and funny. Supporting this teenager through his after-school routine whilst having fun is a big part of this job.
His cerebral palsy means he needs physical help most of the time. Things like supporting him to walk, transferring him in and out of seating/chairs/getting into bed or the bath. Help to eat and drink and with personal cares. You need to be physically fit and energetic to give him the best support.
Weekends and school holidays will be more focused on trips/days out.
Two staff to work across the week from 3 –5pm after school and one day every second weekend (flexible) each day consisting of 7 hrs of support. More hours during the school holidays similar to weekend hours (7hrs). You will need a car and a full licence.
If you are a passionate caring person who would love to help this teenager get the most out of his afternoons and weekends, then please get in touch. Days of work negotiable.
If you are interested, 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!
