Community Support Worker - Intellectual Disability

About Pact

At Pact, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful, connected life.

We are a leading provider of community, vocational, and residential support across New Zealand. Every day we walk alongside people with intellectual disabilities, mental health and addiction challenges, and young people, helping them build independence, confidence and a sense of belonging. Our team is passionate about empowering people to thrive in safe, positive, and inclusive environments where they can achieve their goals and celebrate their strengths.

About the Role

We’re looking for part-time and awake night support workers who are ready to make a genuine impact. In this role, you'll support people as they explore their community, discover new interests, strengthen life skills, and work toward personal goals. Make a real difference in someone’s life every day — no two days are the same. Join a supportive team, earn while you learn, and build a meaningful career in mental health and disability support.

In this role, you will:

• Support people in the community as they set and achieve personal goals
• Encourage participation in daily routines, hobbies and social activities
• Provide practical assistance with well-being, independence, and skill-building
• Model positive behaviours that foster confidence, resilience, and hope
• Maintain clear, accurate documentation to support progress
• And most importantly, help people feel valued, included and able to have fun!

This role requires flexibility to work a mix of day, evening and weekend shifts.

What you’ll bring

Our Dunedin team is looking for someone with:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A calm, positive approach, even when things get challenging 
• A genuine passion for helping others grow and succeed
• A full driver’s licence and basic computer skills
• A relevant qualification (e.g. Level 4 Mental Health) — or willingness to work toward one once you’re on board
• The right to work in New Zealand (essential)

What will Pact offer you?

At Pact, you’ll join a supportive, down-to-earth team who care deeply about both our staff and the people we support. We offer:

• In house training so you feel confident and prepared
• $26.80 - $31.47 per, hour based on qualification
• Long Service benefits to celebrate your milestones
• Encouragement and support to achieve the NZQA Level 4 Qualification
• Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme 
• The joy of watching people grow, achieve and thrive
