About the Role We are currently seeking permanent, full-time Support Workers to join our Intensive Support Services team in Kapiti.

Flexibility to work overnight shifts, including weekends, is necessary. Empathy, respect, and cultural awareness are critical qualities for this role. Benefits In return for your dedication, we offer competitive pay rates ranging from $23.50 to $29.10 per hour, along with a variety of shift options. You will have the opportunity to earn while you learn, as we provide free training towards NZQA Health and Wellbeing qualifications.
