• A young teenager in West Auckland looking for fun on Saturdays
• Are you supportive of neurodivergent and rainbow communities?
We are looking for a young person to have fun and adventures with a teenager who is highly intelligent, gifted with autism & ADHD. Every week on a Saturday for about 4 hours to go out and enjoy the local area and/or wider Auckland.
Perhaps you are neurodivergent yourself or have a good understanding of neurodiversity?
Generally, this teen is bubbly, happy and a kind person, but can get overwhelmed sometimes. As well as being fun and energetic yourself, you will need to be patient, calm and empathetic when the need arises. To be able to go with the flow of someone who is energetic and impulsive. Supporting her in her ideas and talking through how they can work. Being able to wait out any moments of anxiety and discuss them later would be a great skill for this role and not taking things personally.
Saturdays will consist of going to places like the mall, a game of mini golf or trying something new. You will need a car and a full licence, like dogs and not be afraid of spiders! We need someone who can move spiders should the need arise. Being able talk/hear about video games such as Zelda and Pokémon would be a great advantage.
If you are up for fun filled Saturdays, please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message

We are looking for a compassionate and engaging support person for a young man in Hillsborough. You need to be friendly, patient, calm and able to adjust your style to match this young man when his energy is low.
He thrives 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 would be amazing. He loves gaming and coding, and heading to the gym when he can.
Some understanding of mental health and Aspergers would be an advantage, but reliability and engagement are the keys we are looking for. The role is about 5 hours a week, ideally during the day, but we can work the hours around what works best for you. A driver’s licence and your own vehicle are needed for this role.
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

Are you answering yes to all these questions?? Great!! Then we might have the perfect part time job for you.
We are looking for a caring person to help a woman in her 60’s in the evenings. Her physical mobility is extremely limited and so she needs someone to cook, help with jobs around the home and help her get ready and comfortable for bed.
If you can help prepare and serve meals, understand the difference small details make to someone and handle the hands on support tasks that she needs your assistance with – this could be a great match! It is vital you can use your initiative to see what needs doing and are willing to listen and communicate if you don't understand what to do.
This job would suit someone who loves helping others and thrives on making a difference. Attention to the small details is essential to do a good job. Training on the job will be organised for the right applicant.

• Saturday or Sundays in Millwater
A family in Millwater are looking for someone to work either a Saturday or Sunday to support and spend time with their 16yr old disabled son.
This is a fun job for the right person. You need to be a kind and compassionate person who enjoys playing games and laughing at the things he laughs at. He loves trucks, lorries, and trains. He loves silliness, people who are bubbly, fun and funny. Spend your weekends on adventures to the zoo, the beach, Motat or places of interest.
His cerebral palsy means he needs physical help most of the time. Things like supporting him to walk, transferring him in and out of seating and chairs. Help to eat and drink and with personal cares. You need to be physically fit and energetic to give him the best support.
The weekend hours/days are flexible for about 7 hours on a Saturday or Sunday. You will need a car and a full licence. Pay is $24 - $30 per hour.
No experience necessary, just a genuine interest in being a great support and company for this young man.

🌻Are you looking for meaningful engaging work in Dairy Flat?
🌻Would 12 hour shifts supporting a man with a disability fit into your world?
A friendly, chatty man with a spinal injury is looking for some help throughout his week, especially in the weekends. He needs support workers to work 7am – 7pm and overnight 7pm – 7am and we are hoping that you might be one of those people! When at home he likes to spend his days with his cats and dog, making creations on his computer for screen printing and working on his online sales business.
For this to be the job for you, you need:
- A full NZ drivers licence – to head out to appointments or to get stuff done
- Patience - his injury means he needs to go at a slower pace sometimes
- Interpersonal skills - as he likes to chat with the person supporting him
You get a super gold star if you have some good computer skills, but this one is not essential.
Your role would be to support him getting up and dressed for the day, preparing and helping him to eat his meals, and doing the things his limited mobility prevents him from doing (like typing on the computer and pouring himself a drink). Someone stays awake with him overnight to help him stay comfortable and supported.
All of the shifts are 12 hours long. We especially need people who can work the weekend shifts. We would love to chat if one or a few 12 hour shifts would work in your world. One shift or a full time job, it is up to you.
If this sounds like the job you have been looking for, please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message
