Are you trustworthy, compassionate, enthusiastic and reliable?
Could you provide a safe and engaging home environment for a girl with a disability?
We are looking for someone to welcome our daughter with additional needs into their home and provide 2-3 overnight stays while she attends a specialist school during the week. Our family of five live on Waiheke and she needs to live close to Wilson school (in Takapuna) as the commute is not a realistic option for her. She is looking for a support carer and buddy to provide a home away from home, where she can laugh, relax and get the personal care support that she needs.
She is a friendly, enthusiastic and engaging girl, who loves baking, dressing up, water play, singing, meditation and chocolate cake. We need someone who can help her with the things most 13 year old’s need help with (dinner, laundry, making sure they are on time for school), plus she needs help with some extra things (like showering, toileting reminders and helping her communicate).
She would come and stay at your place 2 nights a week, so you need to have a warm, safe, smoke free home, where she could have her own space, a lovely meal and someone to engage with before and after school while she is with you. The pay is attractive and you would be paid both for the hours that you provide support to her and an allowance for her boarding in your home. If you would like to know more or think this could be the opportunity you have been looking for then we would love to chat.
If you are interested, please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message
Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingKitesNZ
