JOB: LIVE IN SUPPORT WORKER
FLATTING LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITY in Mt ROSKILL
MOVE-IN DATE AS SOON AS WE FIND THE RIGHT PERSON!
SUBSIDISED BOARD OF $80p/w
Become a Tuakana/Positive Flatmate and make a difference for RANGATAHI!
Our Independent Living Programme provides semi-supported accommodation
designed to walk alongside our youth aged 16-18 transitioning out of foster care
(likely up to around 20years of age by the time they move out).
The flat can house up to 4 young guys and 3 tuakana.
*Tuakana will ideally have previous flatting or independent living experience and
must have a willingness to support and “care about” rangatahi*
As a Tuakana you are a volunteer for The Salvation Army.
We provide:
- a partially furnished private room, shared bathroom, furnished flat
- food (weekly shared flat account to cover breakfast/lunch/dinner)
- internet, Netflix, power, water, development opportunities
- subsidised (or at times paid for) social outings/meals/activities
In return for this fair board package we will ask you to:
- mould and shape your lifestyle to prioritize flat life
- be actively present at home at least 3 nights per week
- show initiative in maintaining a safe, stable, clean flat and drive flat culture
- build relationships with rangatahi beyond surface level
- role model positive life-skills and walk with rangatahi to learn these skills
- incorporate young flatties (rangatahi) into your lifestyle wherever possible
Many of our young people identify as Maori or from our numerous Pasifika
cultures. Tuakana who can connect culturally and bring a kete or ato of cultural
knowledge and skills will be highly valued. However, inclusivity is obviously not
limited to just culture! You will be supported by youth workers and a team lead.
No pets. Smoking is permitted outside.
This is no ordinary flatting/boarding experience. Take a chance on the
extraordinary and make a difference!
