Job Description:

We're seeking a compassionate and capable Support Workers to provide one-on-one support for a young woman with physical challenges, complex behaviours, and significant mental health needs within our Dunedin Youth Services. This is a hands-on, relational role where your calm presence and practical skills will truly matter. You'll provide active support to help her build independence, strengthen daily routines, and connect positively with her community. Mealtimes are an important part of her culture and identity, so confidence in cooking, meal planning, and supporting healthy eating habits is essential. Creating positive, structured, and culturally affirming mealtimes will be a key part of this role.

Job Responsibility:

  • Provide structured, active support (not just supervision)
  • Support emotional wellbeing using trauma-informed practice
  • Encourage independence in daily living skills
  • Help build meaningful community connections
  • Work as part of a supportive, values-driven team

Requirements:

  • Experience supporting people with complex mental health needs
  • Understanding of strengths-based, trauma-informed practice
  • Experience in positive behaviour support
  • Confidence with cooking and supporting healthy mealtimes
  • Patience, resilience, and strong communication skills
  • A Full NZ Driver Licence
  • A First Aid Certificate (or be willing to obtain)
  • Be eligible to work in Aotearoa New Zealand
  • Be available for at least one weekend shift per week
What we offer:
  • Meaningful and rewarding mahi
  • Supportive and inclusive team
  • Hourly rate up to $29.10 (depending on qualifications)
  • Ongoing training and development
