Job description

Are you passionate about caring for people and making every day a little brighter?

The role

At Remuera Rise, we're looking for a part-time Care Partner to join our dedicated team. This is a rewarding role that brings together the best of caregiving and activities support, taking a more holistic approach to resident wellbeing. It's about more than providing great care – it's about building genuine connections, encouraging independence and helping residents enjoy meaningful, fulfilling lives.

One moment you might be supporting a resident with their personal care, and the next you could be sharing a laugh, enjoying a favourite hobby, organising an outing or helping someone rediscover something they love.

You’ll get to know our residents, their stories, interests, personalities and what matters most to them – and play an important part in making every day a positive experience.

What you’ll be doing

• Providing warm, compassionate personal care that supports residents' dignity, comfort and independence.
• Bringing energy, creativity and enthusiasm to everyday activities, outings and experiences that residents genuinely enjoy.
• Building meaningful relationships with residents and their whānau, getting to know what makes each person unique.
• Encouraging residents to stay active, connected and engaged in the things that bring them joy and purpose.
• Supporting residents living with dementia through a patient, understanding and person-centred approach.
• Working alongside your team to provide holistic care that supports residents' physical, emotional and social wellbeing.

What you’ll bring

• Experience in caregiving, healthcare assistance, activities coordination or a similar role supporting others.
• A genuinely caring nature, positive attitude and a passion for making a difference in people's lives.
• A warm, engaging personality and the ability to bring fun, laughter and connection into everyday moments.
• Great communication skills and a natural ability to build relationships with residents, whānau and colleagues.
• A flexible, proactive approach and a willingness to get involved in all aspects of resident care and wellbeing.
• A full NZ's driver's licence would be an advantage but isn't essential.

Why join Oceania

At Oceania, we're proud to be one of New Zealand's leading providers of retirement living and aged care. Across more than 30 villages, we support over 4,000 residents by creating communities where people feel at home, connected, and well cared for.

Our purpose is simple: to make a difference in every task, every challenge, every day. It's a purpose that's brought to life through the way we work:

• We're one team – We collaborate across teams and functions because together we're stronger than any individual effort.
• We're finding better ways – We challenge ourselves to think differently, find creative solutions, and continuously improve.
• We're committed to care – We put safety and care at the centre of everything we do, creating environments where everyone feels supported.
• We're proud to deliver – We follow through on our commitments because every task matters, and our residents and families count on us to get it right.

When you join Oceania, you'll become part of a supportive team where you'll be encouraged to learn, grow, and make a meaningful contribution every day. In return, we offer competitive pay, ongoing learning and development opportunities, free and confidential wellbeing support, and the chance to build a rewarding career with an organisation that's making a real difference.
