What is home and community health support?
Home and community support includes a range of services available for people who need support to live at home. Services include personal care, household management, nursing treatment, and complex care for people with serious needs
Life Changing Careers
There’s a sense of fulfilment to being a Support Worker that other jobs can’t match. Roles are as varied as the people you work with, letting you shape your career in your own way. By making a difference to others, the life you change may be your own.
Meaningful mahi- Find a job you love
WORK THAT MATTERS. Disability support work is super meaningful mahi. You get to help others achieve the things that matter to them.
The Meaningful Mahi campaign is led by Te Pou. It features three spectacular real-life ‘support work matches’, each diverse pair made up of a disabled person and someone who supports them to live a great life.
