Looking for a local of the North Shore area, our client is interested in gaming and cars, we are looking for someone who is social and adventurous! Spectrum Care is looking for energetic, compassionate individuals to join our Supported Independent Living team — helping people with disabilities live ordinary, extraordinary lives.

About Supported Independent Living (SIL) is about empowering adults with physical and intellectual disabilities to live in their own homes and be active members of their communities. We provide tailored, one-on-one support to help people build routines, develop life skills, and pursue personal goals — whether joining a local club, finding meaningful work, or enjoying a hobby.

Support is offered across a range of hours (6am-9pm, Monday to Sunday), and is shaped by each person\'s unique needs, interests, and aspirations.

About the Role

As a Community Support Worker, you\'ll provide one-on-one support to adults with physical and intellectual disabilities in their homes and communities. Your work will be dynamic and person-led, shaped by each individual\'s goals, interests, and aspirations.

Responsibilities

• Explore hobbies and passions — from music and art to sports and animals
• Build daily routines that support independence and wellbeing
• Connect with local clubs, community spaces, and interest groups
• Discover volunteering, education, or employment opportunities
• Strengthen social confidence and relationships
• Navigate everyday tasks like personal care, household chores, and community outings

Support hours range between 6am and 9pm, Monday to Sunday, with some flexibility to suit both staff and the people we support.

Who You Are

You bring creativity, empathy, and a genuine love for people. You might be into: Art, Music, Dog walking, Sports, Gardening, Gaming, Baking — or anything else that sparks joy and connection.

What You\'ll Need

• A full NZ driver\'s licence - or actively working towards one
• Excellent verbal and written English
• Ability to pass a NZ police check
• Basic computer skills (Word, email, internet)
• Willingness to learn — we\'ll support you to gain a Level 3 qualification in Community Support Work
• Required to attend a 2 week paid induction to prepare you for the role

Experience with disability, mental health, or behaviours that challenge is helpful but not essential. What matters most is your ability to connect, uplift, and inspire.

Requirements

If you are a non-resident applying for this role you must meet the following INZ Level 3 skill requirements to be considered:

• Have worked in the care workforce for 3 years or more, and been paid at least the care workforce wage rate during that time, or
• A relevant qualification on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF) — this must be at least a level 4 qualification for a role at skill level 3, or a diploma for a role at skill level 2.

If you are ready to help others build lives full of creativity, connection, and confidence — we\'d love to hear from you.

Apply today and be part of something truly meaningful. Spectrum Care is proudly an equal opportunity employer.
