Presbyterian Support have a wonderful Day Programme, the Totara Club in Rangiora. This programme gives older people from the local community an opportunity to meet up with others and share activities and experiences. The programme aims to keep the clients socially active and have an enjoyable and fun time away from home on one or two days a week.
The Morning shift is from 8:45am - 10:00am and Afternoon shift is from 2:30pm - 4:00pm one day a week or fortnight. You may be the first person the client sees in the morning and the last person in the afternoon. It is really important that you are able to reassure the clients and support them safely to and from their home. You will ensure that the client has everything for their day including their house keys. There are approximately 8 clients in each van. The clients chat to each other in the van and there can be some lively conversation. This is an important role, and a warm caring personality is what is needed. No experience in this role is required. We will provide with on-the-job training.
