HealthCare NZ is a leading provider of in-home and community-based health, rehabilitation, nursing, mental health and disability support. Our aim is to help people live as independently as possible, for as long as possible, regardless of age, injury, illness or disability.

Are you looking to make a real difference in your community?

We are seeking empathetic and passionate Support Workers across our services including community and rehabilitation, disability, and social services.

Whether you need flexibility around other commitments or prefer regular rostered shifts, we offer permanent, full-time and part-time options.

What does a Support Worker do?

As part of a wider team, you will assist clients to live independently in their homes and community. You will help clients achieve their goals through both practical and emotional support.

Responsibilities may include:

  • Meal preparation
  • Community outings and integration
  • Giving medication
  • Personal cares (showering, toileting, etc)
  • Home management

What's in it for you?

We are committed to our employees and provide a career pathway through the learning and development framework to achieve NZQA qualifications, which are fully funded. You will earn between $23.97 and $29.68 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications.

This is an opportunity to join New Zealand's largest community healthcare provider and gain experience in a variety of disciplines including aged care, disability, mental health and rehabilitation. While part of a large national organisation, you will join a dedicated and close-knit team.

What are we looking for?
  • A great attitude - a desire to help and support others, achieving excellence in all you do!
  • Previous healthcare or care-giving experience is desirable but not essential
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Healthcare qualifications are advantageous
  • Most positions require a full NZ driver's licence and reliable transport

At HealthCare NZ, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity and reflects the communities we serve.

If you are passionate about what you do and want a rewarding career with us, we would love to hear from you.
