This is more than a caring job. In Tauranga, a disability support service needs a Support Worker / Life Facilitator for the 24/7 team around a client with tetraplegia who is active, busy and has full-time commitments.
With the rest of the team you would help with personal cares, daily routines and company, and drive and go along with the client to work and family engagements, sometimes with travel. It is full time on contract: day shifts from 7 am to 5 pm and nights from 5 pm to 7 am with a sleepover, around 35 hours or more a week over 2 to 4 shifts, plus 2 weekend shifts a month.
