Join Spectrum Care - Where Every Life is Empowered by Choice
At Spectrum Care, we proudly support children, young people, and adults with disabilities—as well as their whānau—on their journey toward lives filled with choice, inclusion, and possibility. We believe in daring to dream and building communities where everyone belongs. Our vision is simple yet powerful: Every person with a disability deserves a life of choice, freedom, and independence.
About The Role - Service Manager
As a Service Manager, you will play a vital leadership role in the delivery of supported living services. You will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of homes where disabled individuals—particularly children and young people—receive care and support. This includes managing staff, ensuring safe and nurturing environments, and fostering a culture of respect, empowerment, and inclusion.
Your work will involve close collaboration with families and whānau to understand the unique needs, aspirations, and challenges of each child. You'll coordinate personalised support plans that promote independence, emotional wellbeing, and social engagement. This may include facilitating access to education, therapies, recreational activities, and community participation. You'll also monitor health, behavioural, and developmental outcomes, working alongside health professionals, educators, and other specialists to ensure services are responsive, high-quality, and tailored to each individual.
