Programme Facilitator

Are you passionate about seeing young people with disability forming connections with their communities, further developing skills and growing in confidence?  

Do you have experience facilitating programmes, activities, or teaching people with disabilities?  

We are seeking someone to facilitate and further develop a recently started programme on Thursdays at our Centre in Onehunga, Auckland. Our new Elevate Youth Collective started in February and is for young people with cognitive disabilities. The programme includes opportunities to practice life skills, try new things, volunteer with local community groups, learn about God and connect with other young people with disability.  

The role is a part-time position, 12-16 hours per week for 10 weeks a term (40 weeks annually). As this is a new programme there is a need to establish and develop the programme, with support from our Centre Manager.

There is also potential to combine this role with a soon to be advertised office role which includes assisting in the coordinating and running of our Elevate Family Camp for families with a child with disability.  

The position requires working onsite at our Centre in Onehunga, Auckland.
