mental health supporter in Hillsborough

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - West Auckland

Do you love to make a genuine connection with others?
Do you want to know you are making a positive impact?
This could be the role for you!

We are looking for a compassionate and engaging support person for a young man in Hillsborough. You need to be friendly, patient, calm and able to adjust your style to match this young man when his energy is low.

He thrives having someone alongside him when he is out and about, or to chat with on the days when things are a little rough. Someone who can promote social skills, healthy living and independence would be amazing. He loves gaming and coding, and heading to the gym when he can.

Some understanding of mental health and Aspergers would be an advantage, but reliability and engagement are the keys we are looking for. The role is about 5 hours a week, ideally during the day, but we can work the hours around what works best for you. A driver’s licence and your own vehicle are needed for this role.

If this sounds like the job you have been looking for, we would love to chat with you. Please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message

Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

Every year, thousands of New Zealanders are called up to serve as jurors in the High and District Courts, and it's an important way to contribute to your country.

But for some, jury service can be a huge disruption and a financial burden. Do you think changes could be made to our jury service system to address these challenges?
