House Leader
Company Hohepa Services
Location Kapiti Coast, Wellington
Listed Wed 18 Dec, 8:58 am
Type Full time, PermanentHohepa is a therapeutic community based on the work of Dr Rudolf Steiner. We are currently seeking someone with patience, maturity and integrity for the role of House Leader at Hohepa Services’ Kapiti site. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to take the next step from a Senior Support Worker position.
You will be leading a small team of Support Workers, working alongside people with intellectual disabilities with the belief that they can do anything and can learn to be able and independent.
This is a full time (40 hours per week) role, but definitely not a ‘9-5’ job; work patterns include split shifts on weekdays, and at least one weekend day at work (with 2 consecutive days off). The role can be busy and demanding, but also fulfilling and very rewarding as you journey alongside people with disabilities and support their development.
Some of the people we support can be very active and strong, and we require applicants with a mature approach, who can cope with the mental and physical demands of this role. This can be a challenging role, but also highly rewarding as you journey alongside the people we support and see them flourish.
To be successful in this role you will:
Have previous experience working in the disability field, ideally in a leadership position.
Have good communication skills, able to communicate clearly and appropriately with a range of people, and to maintain accurate records and progress notes.
Be able to analyse data, identify root causes of issues and work on solutions;
Be computer literate and able to write succinct and meaningful reports.
Be a leader willing and able to address issues promptly and achieve positive outcomes.
Be focussed on enablement and community participation
Be able to work with people who may have high support needs and challenging behaviour without becoming flustered.
Have the abilities to both display empathy and respect and enable people to achieve their goals and plans
Be fit for the physical and emotional aspects of the role.
Don’t miss out on this great opportunity – apply now!
Applicants for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
