Job description

At Pact, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful, connected life.

We are a leading provider of community, vocational, and residential support across New Zealand. We support people with intellectual disabilities, mental health & addiction challenges and, young people, to reach their goals and build independence. Our passionate team walks alongside individuals, empowering them to thrive in a safe, positive, and inclusive environment.

About the Role

We currently have casual positions available (as and when required), offering a wide variety of day, evening, weekend, awake‑night, and sleepover shifts. Because this is a casual support work role, you’ll need to be comfortable picking up short‑notice shifts from time to time — perfect for someone who values flexibility and enjoys work that’s never the same two days in a row. In this role, you’ll support people as they explore their community, discover new interests, strengthen life skills, and work toward personal goals. Join a supportive team, earn while you learn, and build a meaningful career in disability support.

In this role, you will:

• Support people in the community as they set and achieve personal goals
• Encourage participation in daily life and community activities
• Provide practical assistance with routines, well-being, and skill-building
• Model positive behaviours and foster confidence, resilience, and hope
• Keep clear, accurate documentation to support progress
• And most importantly, ensure the people you work with have fun and feel valued!

This role requires flexibility to work a mix of day, evening and weekend shifts.

What you’ll bring

Our Invercargill team is looking for someone with:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A calm, positive approach, even when things get challenging
• A genuine passion for helping others grow and succeed
• A full driver’s licence and basic computer skills
• A relevant qualification (e.g. Level 3Health & Wellbeing) — or willingness to work toward one once you’re on board
• The right to work in New Zealand (essential)

What will Pact offer you?

At Pact, you’ll join a supportive, down-to-earth team who care deeply about both our staff and the people we support.

We offer:

• As part of our commitment to your professional development, you’ll be supported to enrol in a recognised qualification after six months with us
• $26.80 - $31.47 per,hour based on qualification
• Long Service benefits to celebrate your milestones
• Encouragement and support to achieve the NZQA Level 3 Qualification
• Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme
• The joy of watching people grow, achieve and thrive

Please note: You must already have the right to work in New Zealand. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship.
