Job description

When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people for more than 115 years.

Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.

PSC has two well-known service brands that lie at the heart of our mahi:

• Enliven: our positive ageing services that create age-friendly communities where older people have companionship, choice, fun, and purpose. Being part of our team means embracing a values-based approach and contributing to a not-for-profit service dedicated to supporting elders.
• Family Works: our social services supporting children and whānau through counselling, social work, life-skills and parenting programmes and safety services.

Huntleigh Home combines excellent clinical care with companionship and meaningful activity. Set in the heart of Karori, it’s close to family, shops and community groups.

Together, we make a lasting difference.
