At Live Life Disability Support Services (LDSS), we support people with disabilities to live great lives that reflect their personal aspirations and choices. LDSS provides support to over 250 people in a variety of residential settings across the Nelson/Tasman and Marlborough regions. 

We are developing innovative services, delivering person-centred and family-focused supports, and provide you with the opportunity to work in an ever-changing environment that is varied, fun, rewarding and which will sometimes bring a challenge to your day. We guarantee that no two days will ever be the same.

While most of our work is with people with disabilities, we also work with people with multiple support needs who sometimes communicate through behaviour which others may find challenging.
