Make a difference with your strong interpersonal skills

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Albany

Part time work in Browns Bay

Support a young person with a disability



Are you empathetic and confident?







A family in Browns Bay on the North Shore are looking for someone to support their 12-year-old daughter after school. For two or three afternoons initially, the role is to do some baking together and help with homework. This cute and curious child loves to ask all the questions and will love to have you there for her support. She loves games, baking and going to the playground and her disability can mean she doesn’t know when it’s time to finish.







She needs reassurance and clear answers to her questions. Your interpersonal skills and strong boundaries mean you are very aware of how you interact with her and guide conversations that won’t get misinterpreted or confused. Structure, consistency and ability to stick to the plan are crucial for success. This may suit a confident mature person with the ability to understand the bigger picture.







Are you up for the challenge to support this young girl to be successful? You will need a full licence and a car. Pay is $30 ph.







If you are interested, 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

So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?
