What might a typical day look like, you ask? It depends on the person that you work with, but it could include helping them develop their confidence to get out into the community, achieve their goals, helping them with daily living tasks such as cooking and showering, or just being there to talk to and to foster positive social interactions.
About CCT:

We work in partnership with adults and youth across the South Island who need some support in their lives to achieve their goals. We work alongside people to ensure they live the life they want and achieve their dreams and aspirations as valued and contributing people within their community.
We have been providing support to people for a long time, but always bring a fresh and innovative approach to all that we do! Our team are an integral part of the magic, and bring a forward-thinking, collaborative approach with a strong desire to make a difference. This is support work – but probably not as you know it.
