Mission: supporting people to live the best possible life

About Disability Support Services

At Disability Support Services (DSS) we provide support to people who have disabilities to live lives that reflect their personal aspirations and choices. DSS provides support to over 250 people in a variety of residential settings across the Nelson/ Tasman and Marlborough regions.

The people we support live in their own homes, with support provided through a residential contract. We support each person to manage their day to day lives in ways and at times that work for them. The people we support have a wide range of abilities. Some people need support with their personal care and taking care of household tasks; some need support to participate in their local communities and some need communication and behavioural support too. We actively encourage people to purse their dreams and try out new experiences, and can guarantee that no two days working at DSS are ever the same.

While most of our work is with people with disabilities, we also work with people who have multiple support needs who sometimes communicate through behaviour which others may find challenging, and who may also have involvement with mental health, youth justice, addictions, and/or Oranga Tamariki.

N.B. Disability Support Services are part of Nelson Marlborough Health, we are not however a medical/clinical service. We are a community based disability support service focused on quality of life outcomes, and the Enabling Good Lives Principles.

About the role

We are looking for people with a can-do attitude who can work with children and adults, as part of a proactive support team, in residential and respite homes. You will follow individual plans and understand the importance of consistency in assisting people to achieve a great life.

Information and Assessment Evening

Our next information and assessment centre evening is on Monday, 1 April 2019 from 6pm - 8pm that you must attend in person. Applicants who do not attend with be recorded as withdrawn from the process.
