As our services continue to grow, Community Care Trust Aotearoa would love to welcome new Support Workers to our Supported Living Services here in Dunedin. We have part-time and casual opportunities available across our services.
Our services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so availability to work weekends is essential. We’ll talk with you about your availability and do our best to match this with the needs of the people we support.
About the role | He kōrero whakamārama mō tēnei tūranga
In our Supported Living Services, we walk alongside people as they build independence, stay connected, and take part in the communities they call home.
