- Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure integrated care.
- Manage and maintain whānau case documentation to ensure continuity of care.
- Support project activities within Te Aka Matua and foster strong relationships with whānau Māori and mainstream health organisations.
- Full registration under the Health Practitioner Competence Assurance (HPCA) Act 2003, or as an Alcohol, Drug, and/or Gambling Practitioner with DAPAANZ membership, or as a Social Worker.
- An understanding of Te Ao Māori, tikanga, and kaupapa Māori therapeutic approaches.
- Demonstrated experience in mental health and addiction support, ideally within a Māori-focused service.
- Strong interpersonal and analytical skills to provide client-centered care and effective collaboration within a team environment.
- A full, clean NZ driver’s license.
