Support Coordinator

Support Coordinator - Wellington and Taranaki

20 hours per week | Remote Worker

Do you want to be part of an organisation that truly makes a difference in people's lives? Sweet Louise is looking for a motivated, compassionate and committed person to join our team.

About Sweet Louise

For more than 20 years, Sweet Louise has been the only charitable organisation in Aotearoa New Zealand dedicated to supporting people living with incurable breast cancer. Our purpose is to help patients live well for as long as possible, providing support when it is needed most. Today, we support more than 850 people throughout the country.

About the Role

Our Coordinators play a vital role in supporting members and helping them access the services, information and connections they need. Working remotely and within a small, purpose-led team, you will build meaningful relationships with people in your region.

Key responsibilities include:

·       Registering and welcoming new members

·       Managing an allocated caseload of members

·       Facilitating member meetings and events

·       Connecting with a wide range of people and organisations

·       Referring members to appropriate support services

·       Building strong relationships with healthcare professionals, service providers and community organisations

·       Leading and representing Sweet Louise within your local area

About You

You are naturally empathetic, able to build trust and relationships with ease, and can support others while maintaining healthy professional boundaries and your own wellbeing.

A nursing or allied health background would be advantageous but is not essential. However, experience in health navigation, support work, or a similar role is important, as you will be working alongside people and families during some of life's most challenging events.

You will also bring:

·       Experience working alone, independently and managing your time effectively

·       Strong organisational and communication skills

·       A high level of initiative and self-motivation

·       A commitment to ongoing learning, reflective practice and professional development

This role requires travel within your region and some planned work in Taranaki. A full New Zealand driver's licence and access to reliable transport are essential. We prefer someone to work Monday to Wednesday but can be flexible for the right person.

Benefits

The remuneration is set at $74,984 pro rata per annum. At Sweet Louise, we value our people and offer:

·       Flexible working arrangements

·       Laptop and mobile phone

·       KiwiSaver contribution of 3.5%

·       Annual training allowance and professional development opportunities

·       Opportunities to travel within New Zealand and Australia for learning and development

·       Additional leave benefits, including birthday leave, Sweet Louise Day, long service leave, and the option to purchase one additional week of leave each year

·       Six funded professional supervision sessions annually

·       Annual eye exam and flu vaccinations are funded.

·       Access to our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
