What does a Support Worker do?
Due to the intimate nature of the cares, we are looking for someone who has worked in a hospital environment and with children in the past.

- Personal care
- Ventilator (Astral Ventilator)

We are committed to our employees and are proud to employ and train the best people in all areas of our organisation. We provide a career pathway for staff through the learning and development framework to achieve NZQA qualifications, which are fully funded. You will earn between $22.70 - $28.25 per hour, depending on experience and qualification.
This is an opportunity to join New Zealand's largest community healthcare provider with the potential to gain experience in a variety of disciplines including aged care, disability, mental health and rehabilitation. Whilst you will be part of a large national organisation, you will join a dedicated and close-knit team. We also provide free EAP service, company mobile phone and travel reimbursement between your clients.
What are we looking for?
- Attitude - a desire to help and support others, achieving excellence in all you do!
- Previous healthcare or care-giving experience is desirable, although not essential

- Healthcare qualifications are advantageous.
- Most positions require a full NZ drivers' licence and your own reliable transport.
