Job Description
Relational Practice | Palmerston North | Values-Led Crew
Who we need
Not a seat-filler. Not a “support worker.” We’re hunting for a rhythm-builder - a human metronome who knows how to turn gym sessions, sizzling pans, and neighbourly hellos into life-defining moments. You’ll join a tiny, self-managing squad backing one man to live an unapologetically ordinary life packed with strength, flavour, and community mojo.
Your Mission (should you choose to accept it)
Active Living & Health Building - Spotting the sweet spot between “good sweat” and “good grief.” Guiding workouts, tracking wins, and tweaking the plan when bodies or moods shift.
Food, Skills & Contribution - Coaching without commandeering. Helping roast veggies, plan menus, and plate up pride - then taking the show on the road to markets, classes, and potlucks.
Purposeful Presence in Community Life - Turning up where life happens - gyms, footpaths, volunteer gigs - and quietly making sure connection sticks.
Team Learning & Contribution - Bringing your curiosity to team huddles, swapping ideas, and staying hungry for better.
How you’ll change the game
Self-determination, not remote control. You back his choices; you don’t remote-pilot his life.
Patterns beat programmes. Friendship grows in the soil of steady routines, not one-off “activities.”
Mana stays intact. Your support spotlights his dignity - never dims it.
All inside a self-managing micro-team, guided by a Good Life Governance Circle that handles the paperwork while you handle the heart work.
You bring
Street-smarts from disability support, wellbeing, education, community work - or a wild card that makes sense.
A kitchen knife that isn’t afraid of vegetables and the patience to let someone else chop them.
Gym confidence (PT cert not required; common sense compulsory).
Calm nerves, sharp EQ, and cultural humility.
A love of learning - especially the Enabling Good Lives way.
Why bother?
Because connection never happens by accident.
Because community is stitched together with everyday conversations and small brave steps.
Because a good life has a pulse: movement, meaning, and mutuality.
Ready to coach a life that matters?
