Job Vacancies
One of the ways that we support our customers is by helping them find their ideal support staff. All of the roles listed here have been created in collaboration with Flying Kites and the disabled person or their family.
There are three categories of employment: employed directly by the disabled person or their family, employed by Flying Kites on behalf of the disabled person, or employed by an external agency on behalf of the disabled person.
Roles are usually flexible for the right candidate so we encourage you to contact us if you see something of interest.
