Buddy Programme & Group Programme Coordinator
Central Otago / Queenstown Lakes

The opportunity to effect real change for tamariki and whanau doesn’t come along every day, but right now you have the chance to join our Family Works team to make a real lifetime difference.
We are looking for a colleague to work across our Buddy and Group Programmes as a Buddy Programme and Group Programme Coordinator within the Family Works team at Presbyterian Support Otago (PSO).
Established over 30 years ago in Otago, Presbyterian Support Otago’s Buddy Programme is known for its commitment to supporting tamariki, and now you can secure this role alongside that of Group Programme Coordinator delivering our children’s and other selected groups within the community.

The Role
You will work within a local multidisciplinary team who deliver a range of Family Works services in the Central Otago / Queenstown Lakes regions. You will also be supported by 6 Buddy Coordinators and 3 Group Programme Coordinators who are located across the greater Otago / Queenstown Lakes region, alongside the wider regional Family Works team.
As a Buddy Programme Coordinator, you will coordinate adult volunteers and match them with tamariki aged between 5 to12 years. The buddy’s spend time together having fun, and the best part of this role is seeing buddy’s try new experiences together and build lasting friendships. As the Group Programme Coordinator, you will co-facilitate our children’s groups, and watch change happen before your eyes for tamariki and their whānau.
Hours: This is a permanent part time position working 25 hours per week. This role will involve flexible working hours as some evening and weekend work is required to meet the needs of both programmes.
Key tasks for this role includes:

Recruiting, training and supporting adult buddy’s
Arranging suitable matches between the adult and young buddy’s
Coordinating and attending regular adult buddy supervision sessions
Organising fun Buddy Programme outings
Undertaking assessments for tamariki and whānau attending either Buddy or Group services
Co-facilitating Group Programmes

About You
We are looking for someone who:

Is passionate about achieving positive results for tamariki and their whānau
Is a “people person” who is great at building relationships and a clear communicator
Can work autonomously and as part of a team
Can work flexible hours which may include after school, weekends and nights (when required)
