Service Coordinator- Levin & Manawatu
 •  Levin & Manawatu
 •  Full-time/Permanent role
 •  $34 per hour

We are seeking a Service Coordinator to join our awesome team in the Levin/Manuwatu area!!!

About Us

We are a community-based disability support provider that operates across much of the North Island. Our Vision is of an inclusive New Zealand where people with disabilities are embraced as fully participating citizens, where barriers to inclusion are removed, and where all people are respected and valued for who they are.

We believe that people with disabilities can and should live the life they choose, on their own terms and within the community of their choice.

Community Connections is an Equal Employment Opportunities employer, and we love diversity in what we do and whom we employ. We are committed to Te Tiriti O Waitangi, the UN Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the NZ Disability strategy.
We encourage people with lived experience of disability, mental health, Maori, Pasifika, people from other backgrounds and/or from LGBTQIA+ community to apply.

About the role

As a Service Coordinator, you will play a crucial role in our mission to provide exceptional support to individuals with disabilities. In this position, you will oversee service delivery, manage team development, build positive relationships with external stakeholders (such as Mana Whaikaha and ACC), and ensure administrative efficiency.

Your responsibility will be for the Manawatu and Levin areas, where you will oversee the smooth operations of two self-managing teams. You may be wondering what this means. A self-managing team is responsible for managing all the support requirements and associated tasks for the people it works to support.
This is a big change from our traditional organisational structures. As part of a self-managing team, you will have more flexibility and direct responsibility for what you do, when you do it, and how you perform.

Your responsibilities

Your role will be quite dynamic and varied. You will be responsible for coordinating service delivery, resolving conflicts, developing support plans, and maintaining organisational processes. You will also oversee administrative tasks such as budget control and reporting.
Building strong relationships with external partners (ACC & Mana Whaikaha) and stakeholders will be vital in driving continuous improvement in service quality.

Your responsibilities will also include ensuring smooth recruitment, orientation, coaching, training, and monthly meetings operations. You will need to ensure that these activities align with Community Connections - Te Hapouri Awhina Tangata's values, including our Code of Practice and Mana Waiora.

What You’ll Bring

The successful candidate must be able to multitask across different services. A sense of humour and strong communication skills are essential! In addition you:

 •  MUST have a minimum Level 4 qualification in either the disability, social work, nursing, health sector
 •  MUST have management experience (managing staff, coaching and mentoring)
 •  Leadership experience and skills
 •  Mentoring and coaching experience
 •  Report writing skills and technology competence
 •  Must have a valid driver's license
 •  Having a valid First Aid Certificate is considered an advantage.

Why Join Us:

At Community Connections, we provide a supportive team environment where you can work alongside like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a positive impact on the community we support.

We value your dedication and hard work, and in return, we offer a range of benefits:

 •  Five weeks annual leave
 •  Monthly external supervision/ coaching
 •  Cellphone & laptop provided
 •  Collaborative working environment
 •  Travel allowance & annual well-being to put towards an activity or equipment or other that will enhance your health and wellbeing

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and join a supportive team that values creativity, collaboration, and making a difference in the community, we want to hear from you!
