Job market vibes for disability / vocational support workers

Advice

I’m exploring a move to NZ and trying to understand what the disability‑support job market is like in Southland.

My background is in disability support / supported employment / job coaching. I specialize in digital literacy, basic computer skills, and art/creative activities. I will have a CompTIA A+ cert soon, and US-based peer support specialist certs.

I’m curious about the general vibe of the sector in Southland, or if it's better elsewhere in NZ. Things like job availability, work culture, pay expectations, and whether organisations like IDEA Services, CCS Disability Action, or Workbridge are good to work for.

Any honest insight from locals or people in the field would be really appreciated.

Thank you!
