We are looking for someone to help us improve the wellbeing of people with ME/CFS and long COVID and their whanau by: + Facilitating connections and relationships within the regional online ME/CFS community to reduce the isolation experienced. + Providing approved information about ME/CFS and strategies for living with it. + Sharing news of interest to our chronically ill community. Do you have? + A qualification relevant to the health, disability or social work sector is desirable. + An understanding of ME/CFS, or a similar chronic disabling condition, and the impacts on quality of life. + Warm, kind, non-judgmental, and calm manner A position description is available for this role. Please apply to request a copy and to tell us why you are interested in this role. --- *Recent testimonies...* * “If I hadn't met with the Nurse who validated my experience of my chronic illness and advocated for me with my GP to obtain a diagnosis, I would not be here. Life had got too hard." * "I love this organisation, so caring and respectful in everything that they do, and always looking to progress forward." --- *Did you know?* People with ME/CFS, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis /Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and long COVID have a reduced level of functionality that means they cannot complete normal activities of daily living. An additional burden is that doing too much physically or mentally can trigger Post-Exertional Malaise – a worsening of symptoms that can last for days or more. Many people with ME/CFS are house or bed bound, are unable to work, and do not have access to adequate financial, home and mobility supports through the welfare and health systems.

You have the option of joining as a Caring Caller and being matched with suitable client/s however, this is not mandatory. To be successful in this role, you will have: - Excellent communication skills, an empathetic personality, and a genuine interest in the well-being of others - Previous team management experience - Administration experience - Competent computer skills - Over 18 years of age Successful applicants will receive full training and membership of Hato Hone St John (which gives free ambulance service for immediate family). Me pēhea te tuku tono - How to apply: At Hato Hone St John, we embrace diversity, welcoming everyone to bring their authentic selves to work. We value unique perspectives, fostering inclusivity to better serve our communities, and we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone belongs. E pōhiritia nei e mātou, te whānau o Hato Hone St John, ngā rereketanga o ia tāngata ki te haramai. E āwhinatia e mātou i ngā whakaaro rereke, kia mahi pai i roto i ngā hāpori katoa.
