Opportunity Description

About the Role

We're looking for a steady, supportive, and down-to-earth Youth Community Support Worker to join our Invercargill team. This role is not for the faint-hearted — but if you’re someone who can stay calm under pressure, set healthy boundaries, and still bring fun and connection to each day, you might be exactly who we need.

You’ll be working alongside rangatahi with short-term placements, who may present with challenging behaviours, including aggression, absconding, or property damage. You’ll play a vital role in creating stability, safety, and growth — even in the toughest moments.

In this role, you will:

  • Support youth to reconnect with whānau, culture, and community
  • Role-model emotional regulation, resilience, and life skills
  • Keep structure in the home and calmly manage behavioural challenges
  • Provide hands-on support with routines, well-being, and goal setting
  • Encourage learning through fun,...
  • Permanent - Full Time Counselors, Social Workers, and Other Community and Social Service Specialists
