Ā mātou rōpū (About our team)

Live Life Disability Support (LLDS) provides support to people who have disabilities to live life out and about across the spectacular Nelson Marlborough region.

It's hard to beat the feeling that comes from helping others - now imagine if you could have fun, make life-long connections and gain new experiences while doing it.

Maybe you've worked in a care/support role before, or perhaps it's a totally new avenue you're keen to explore. All we ask is that you bring a positive attitude, problem solving skills and an empathy-driven manner. Working with us at Live Life Disability Support will enhance your life as well as those you are supporting.

You'll be helping with residential in-home assistance, but you'll also be there in full support of out-of-home experiences and day activities - whether that's attending a rugby game, going out shopping or a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Your role is all about helping someone gain independence and autonomy, while getting the most out of life. Knowing you're making a positive impact in someone's life can truly have the same effect on your own.

In addition to the above:

• you can work in the way that works best for you - whether that's full-time or part-time, or morning, afternoon/evening, overnight or casual shifts
• you'll be supported to achieve your levels two, three and four Health and Wellbeing Certificate.

So if you're looking for a role that benefits you as well as those you'll be around each day, we reckon this is it.
