Job Description
Community Support Worker — Central Residential Service
Full Time 40 hours per week $23.97 – $29.68 per hour Central Auckland
At Spectrum Care, we believe every person deserves a life of dignity, independence, and connection. Our Residential Services support adults with intellectual and/or physical disabilities to live in safe, welcoming homes where they can thrive — not just survive.
As a Community Support Worker, you’ll be part of a dedicated team working directly in these homes. You’ll help people live their best lives by supporting them with everyday tasks, personal goals, and meaningful community engagement. This is a hands-on, heart-led role where no two days are the same — and every moment counts. Full shift availability is required – day, afternoon, night, weekend and sleepover.
What You’ll Be Doing
Your work will be shaped by the needs, interests, and aspirations of each person you support. You’ll provide:
Personal care: Assisting with hygiene, dressing, medication, and other daily routines
Daily living support: Helping with cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and household tasks
Community participation: Supporting people to attend events, join clubs, visit friends, or explore hobbies
Social connection: Encouraging friendships, communication, and confidence in social settings
Work and education support: Assisting with job readiness, volunteering, or learning opportunities
Emotional support: Being a calm, consistent presence during challenging moments
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
An interest in attaining a Community Support Worker Level Three or above qualification — we’ll support you to achieve this while you work
Experience supporting people with disabilities, and/or mental health issues, and/or behaviours that can be challenging (desirable but not essential)
Reliability, commitment, and a genuine passion for working with people
Innovation: use creative thinking to support clients in reaching their personal goals and apply fresh approaches to everyday challenges to help clients thrive.
A full New Zealand driver’s licence
Ability to pass a NZ police check
The ability to use a computer effectively, including programs such as Microsoft teams, Word and Outlook
You will be required to attend a 2 week paid induction to prepare you for the role.
If you are a non-resident applying for this role you must meet the following INZ Level 3 skill requirements to be considered:
Have worked in the care workforce for 3 years or more, and been paid at least the care workforce wage rate during that time, or
A relevant qualification on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF) — this must be at least a level 4 qualification for a role at skill level 3, or a diploma for a role at skill level 2.
Why This Role Matters
This isn’t just a job — it’s a chance to be part of someone’s journey. You’ll help people:
Build routines that give structure and confidence
Discover passions and hobbies that spark joy
Form relationships that bring connection and belonging
Achieve goals that once felt out of reach
Live lives that reflect their values, choices, and dreams
You’ll be part of a team that celebrates diversity, encourages growth, and believes in the power of everyday moments to change lives.
Apply now if you have a passion for working with people and want to make a difference! Spectrum Care is proudly an equal opportunity employer.
