About us

A job with PSC is a career that supports and empowers thousands of people to live happy, healthy lives. We love people – and that includes our employees. At PSC, we truly value our staff and put a huge amount of effort into making the work environment positive.

Our homes and villages are places where older people have companionship, choice, variety, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose. The elders of this well known rest home tell us they enjoy the fantastic social and activities calendar, the companionship and friendly banter and the sense of belonging that comes with this tight-knit community. Situated in Terrace End in Palmerston North, Brightwater Home is set on attractive grounds with gardens, courtyards and beautiful established trees. Like any family home, at Enliven’s Brightwater Home there are great shared social spaces, including lounges, gardens and courtyards. Residents and their families use these spaces whenever they like, to socialise, do activities and host visitors.

It’s a fun place to be, and we need caring kind, creative, reliable and energetic people to join our team and become part of our Enliven community!
