Hōhepa – Kāpiti Coast
Full-time (40 hours), Sunday–Thursday
At Hōhepa, we believe every person has unique potential — and we are committed to providing deeply person‑centred support that empowers people to live full, meaningful lives. We’re now seeking a hands-on, experienced House Manager to lead two homes supporting up to eight adults with intellectual disabilities in the Kāpiti community.
This is not a desk‑based role. You’ll be actively present in the homes each day — guiding your team, building strong relationships, and modelling high‑quality support in real time. If you’re a natural leader who thrives in a people-focused environment, this is an opportunity to lead with purpose and make real impact.
The base salary ranges from $73,000 to $77,000, depending on skills and experience.
What You’ll Do
-
Lead by doing: Work alongside staff in the homes, modelling person-centred support and ensuring consistent, high-quality practice.
-
Grow your team: Coach, mentor, and support staff with regular feedback, building confidence and capability.
-
Keep things running smoothly: Manage rosters, staffing levels, and budgets to ensure safe, sustainable operations.
-
Guide decision-making: Support staff to work within Hōhepa policies, procedures, and values.
-
Co-create support plans: Partner with staff and people we support to develop holistic, meaningful plans based on strengths and goals.
-
Support wellbeing: Build trusting relationships, provide emotional support, and involve specialist services where needed.
-
Monitor and report: Oversee documentation, progress notes, and reporting to maintain quality and responsiveness.
-
Collaborate: Work closely with fellow House Managers, Team Leaders, and support staff as part of the wider Leadership Team.
-
Live our special character: Model and inspire Hōhepa Anthroposophical values in daily practice.
What You’ll Bring
- A Level 4 Health & Wellbeing certificate (or equivalent).
- At least 3 years’ experience in disability support, social care, or allied health.
- Proven leadership and team management experience.
- Strong communication, relationship-building, and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent organisation and time management abilities.
- Confidence in Microsoft Office, Teams, SharePoint, and digital client management systems.
- A full New Zealand driver licence.
- Knowledge of household operations (desirable, not essential).
Why Hōhepa?
- Work where your leadership directly improves people’s lives.
- Be part of a welcoming, values-driven organisation.
- Lead a team that is passionate about person-centred support.
- Enjoy variety, connection, and meaningful daily impact.
