Join HealthCare NZ - Make a Real Difference in Your Community

HealthCare NZ is one of the country's leading providers of in-home and community-based health services. We support people of all ages to live as independently as possible—whether they are managing injury, illness, age-related conditions, or disability.

We are currently seeking empathetic and dedicated Support Workers to join our Community Services team in South Auckland area. If you're passionate about making a positive impact and want a role that offers flexibility or regular rostered shifts, we have permanent part-time opportunities available to suit your lifestyle.

What does a Support Worker do?

As a Support Worker, you'll be part of a wider care team, helping clients live independently in their homes and participate in their communities. Your support helps clients reach their personal goals—providing both practical assistance and emotional encouragement. Depending on each client's care plan, your responsibilities may include:

  • Meal preparation
  • Community outings and integration
  • Medication support
  • Personal care (e.g. showering, toileting)
  • General household tasks

What's in it for you?

We're committed to supporting and developing our people. When you join HealthCare NZ, you'll benefit from:

  • A competitive hourly rate between $23.97 - $29.68, based on qualifications
  • Fully funded NZQA qualifications through our learning and development programme
  • Career pathways across multiple disciplines, including aged care, disability support, mental health, and rehabilitation
  • Being part of a large national organisation, while working in a supportive, close-knit local team

What are we looking for?

We welcome applicants who are:

  • Passionate about supporting others and making a positive difference
  • Excellent communicators with a professional, caring attitude
  • Experienced in care work
  • Trained in hoist use and experienced with wheelchair assistance
  • Holders of healthcare qualifications

Most roles require a full NZ driver's licence and reliable transport.

Diversity & Inclusion

At HealthCare NZ, we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace that reflects the communities we serve. If you have a heart for helping people and are ready for a rewarding career, we'd love to hear from you.

Mēnā he tangata ngākaunui ana koe ki te tautoko i ngā momo tāngata, tēnā pea, kei konei he tūranga mōu. Tukua mai tō tono ki HealthCare NZ!
