Our Team Structure & Available Roles
These staff members are skilled / trained to best give care to people we support around their individual needs. Each home has regular and casual Support Workers attached to it so that they can get to know the people we support really well. Support Workers will help them to settle into their new home. It is important to know that Support Workers are not there to do everything for the people we support as it is really important that they remain as independent as possible.
These staff ensure the delivery of high-quality, equitable support, for the people we support, through support that is focused on maintaining the highest possible levels of independence, individual dignity and respect while promoting opportunities to participate within the community.
They also provide leadership and support to the Support Workers team and provide coordination in the day to day running of the service in consultation with the Service Delivery Manager.
Positive Behaviour Support Planners are responsible for providing support to people with disabilities, and their whānau, to enable them to live independent lives by developing and maintaining positive behaviour. They will
provide training and coaching to Support Workers to use effective strategies to promote positive behaviours and quality of life for those we support.
Staff who either oversee the people we support’s specific home, a group of homes, or individualised service ensuring that staff are rostered on, contractual requirements are being meet, new staff have been orientated and trained to best care for the people we support’s needs. They also investigate any concerns, complaints.
They are the senior managers responsible for overall meeting the people we support’s needs and satisfaction and continually driving quality/service improvements.
