Are you passionate in making a real and positive difference to New Zealand's tamariki and rangatahi?
We currently have an opportunity for Residential Youth Workers to join our Te Whare Tumanako Tuatahi Group Home.

Mō mātou | About us:

Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children has a commitment to putting tamariki and rangatahi at the heart of what we do. In our work, we aim to demonstrate these values:

We put Tamariki first
We believe Aroha is vital
We respect the Mana of people
We are Tika and Pono
We value Whakapapa
We recognise that Oranga is a journey

Mō te tūnga | About the role:
We are looking for positive role models to work with our young people, helping them turn their lives around. To help them achieve this, our Residential Youth Workers, as part of a team, provide daily care and support. They get involved assisting our young people to re-engage with school/vocation, attending appointments, having visits with their family, connecting with peers, and managing themselves within the home.
As a casual worker you may be called upon to work a shift covering evenings, weekends or public holidays and may be asked to work more than one day in a row. Because our casual pool provides support when relief is required you may be called upon at short notice. This is your opportunity to apply your skills and experience to the wellbeing of tamariki and rangatahi.

Have flexibility to work different shifts - mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays
Demonstrate sound judgement with the ability to manage risk and make tough decisions
Have life experience and understanding of what rangatahi may be going through
Have excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to adapt to your audience

Nōu te rourou | What's in it for you:

We offer a vibrant and supportive team, flexible work options and a genuine commitment to wellbeing. As well as training and professional development so that you can thrive and grow. We welcome diversity and are committed to working in an inclusive and respectful way.

Me pēhea te tuku tono | How to apply:
