Live-in caregivers needed for local
Christchurch Family Homes
We are looking for people who understand and have skills with children and young people to move into one of our Christchurch Family Homes.
As a Family Home Carer you will create a safe and stable home environment for up to five young people transitioning to permanent homes or independence, whose stay could last anywhere from a few days to a few months.
You will live rent-free and have general household costs covered with regular time off. This opportunity allows for one ‘carer’ to undertake full-time employment.
You will be part of a team and receive support, professional training and on-going advice from a social worker.
Couples are welcome to apply together.

You will receive support, professional training, on-going advice and financial assistance and most importantly you will see how you have made a difference to a child or young person’s life.
