The Life Plus Mission: Hiring the Best to Be the Best

Our philosophy is simple: to deliver the best healthcare services in New Zealand, we must hire the best people. Life Plus is synonymous with quality, reliability, and compassion. We operate throughout the country, but our Auckland hub is currently our most active region.

Working with us means you are part of a supportive network. We understand that home-based care can be challenging, which is why we provide a robust management structure to ensure you are never alone. Whether you are working in the Auckland CBD or the surrounding suburbs, you are a crucial part of the Life Plus family.

Detailed Role Overview: What is a Personal Care Service?

The primary goal of this role is to enable Service Users to lead an independent lifestyle within the comfort of their own homes. Every individual we support has a Personalised Care Plan. Your job is to follow this plan meticulously, ensuring that the physical, emotional, and household needs of the user are met with the highest standard of professionalism.

Your responsibilities are divided into several key areas of support:

1. Comprehensive Personal Care

This is the core of your daily activity. You will assist Service Users with their most private and essential needs, maintaining their dignity at all times:

• Hygiene Support: Washing, bathing, showering, and grooming.
• Dental Care: Assisting with cleaning teeth and overall oral hygiene.
• Toileting: Managing all aspects of personal hygiene and continence care.
• Dressing: Helping Service Users prepare for the day or for specific outings.

2. Clinical and Rehabilitation Support

You act as the hands and feet of the broader healthcare team:

• Medication Assistance: Prompting and assisting with prescribed medications to ensure health stability.
• Aids for Daily Living: Helping Service Users utilize rehabilitation aids and specialized equipment safely.
• Prescribed Programs: Implementing rehabilitation exercises as directed by doctors or physiotherapists.
• Monitoring: Maintaining a constant awareness of changes in the Service User’s physical or mental condition.

3. Household Management & Nutrition

A well-run home is essential for wellbeing. You will manage:

• Meal Preparation: Creating snacks and meals tailored to the user’s likes, dislikes, and dietary requirements.
• Cleaning Duties: General housekeeping including dusting, vacuuming, polishing, and bed-making.
• Financial Assistance: Helping with grocery shopping (local stores), creating shopping lists, and assisting with basic budgeting while adhering to strict money-handling policies.

Candidate Requirements: Are You a Life Plus Superstar?

We have high standards because our Service Users deserve the best. To be successful in one of these 14 roles, you must have:

• Experience: A minimum of 3 months of proven experience in healthcare or homecare.
• Qualifications: Ideally, you hold an NZQA Level 3 or 4 qualification. However, we are willing to support candidates who have the right attitude and are willing to work towards these levels.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills are non-negotiable.
• Personal Attributes: You must be punctual, reliable, and flexible.
• Cultural Awareness: Auckland is a diverse city. You must be sensitive to different cultural backgrounds and needs.
• Initiative: While you are a team player, you must be comfortable working on your own in a home environment.

The Rewards: Why Choose Life Plus?

We value our caregivers and reflect that in our remuneration and support packages:

• Competitive Salary: $28.25 – $30.00 per hour (maximum rate based on experience/qualifications).
• Travel Compensation: We respect your time. We pay for travel time between clients and provide a per-kilometer allowance for your vehicle use.
• Professional Growth: We provide ongoing training and professional development to help you reach NZQA Level 4 and beyond.
• Team Support: Even though you work remotely in homes, our friendly Auckland-based management team is always just a phone call away.

The Impact of Your Work: Real-World Independence

In Auckland, many seniors and people with disabilities face the risk of being moved into residential care prematurely. Your presence in their home changes that narrative. By providing “Personal Care Service,” you allow a mother to stay in the home where she raised her children, or a former athlete to continue their rehabilitation in a familiar environment.

This role is about empowerment. We don’t just “do” things for people; we encourage them to maintain their own independence. Your success is measured by the Service User’s ability to live their life, their way.

Working Remotely in Auckland

While this role is listed as “Auckland CBD (Remote),” it involves traveling to various homes throughout the Auckland region. This means you get to experience the diversity of our beautiful city every day. From the North Shore to South Auckland, our 14 vacancies are spread out to ensure we can reach everyone who needs us. You will need a reliable vehicle and a smartphone to manage your schedules and Care Plans.

Professionalism and Ethics

Handling money, medication, and personal hygiene requires a high degree of ethical integrity. Life Plus has strict guidelines to protect both the Service User and the Caregiver. You will be fully trained in our policies to ensure you can perform your duties with confidence and safety.

How to Apply

Life Plus is ready to hire now. With 14 positions available, we are looking for a wave of new talent to join us.

1. Submit Your CV: Highlight your 3+ months of experience and any NZQA levels you have achieved.
2. Right to Work: Be prepared to confirm your legal right to work in New Zealand.
3. Interview: Our interviews focus on your competency and your “heart” for care.
