Meaningful Mentoring in Hillsborough

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Mangere

Are you a compassionate people person with a gift for motivating others? We are looking for someone to build a connection with a young man who likes, woodwork/carpentry, computer coding and gaming. It is his first year out of school and his disability and mental health means that he would thrive 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.

If you love to make a genuine connection with others and know you are making a positive impact this could be the role for you. We need someone who is compassionate, calm and able to adjust their style to match this young man when his energy is low.


Some understanding of mental health and Aspergers would be an advantage. The role is about 5 hours a week, ideally during the day, but we can be flexible for the right person. Driver’s licence and own vehicle.

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
