Transition to Independence

UPANE KA UPANE, WHITI TE RA! 
Advancing together into a brighter future

Ko wai mātou | About us

Well, it’s not actually about us at all.  It’s about the people and communities we serve.  Ngāti Toa is a vibrant and influential iwi, firmly grounded in our cultural identity.  And we’re paddling our own waka forward in leading significant change in enhancing the mana, wellbeing and prosperity of Ngāti Toa and the communities in which we thrive. 

Ko te tūranga mahi | About the role

The Transition to Independence role is responsible for supporting rangatahi in care as they transition to a post care environment and increase their independence.

In this role you will be expected to:

·        Support the implementation of transition plans

·        Provide continuous support to young vulnerable people

·        Manage and maintain trusting relationships

·        Produce and maintain reports and records

Ko ngā wheako ōu | About you

Well, after hearing about us and about the role, you’ll know whether you’re the right person, and whether now is the right time for you.  Your high-level experience and professional expertise is a given.  You will be someone who  can demonstrate empathy, resourcefulness and an ongoing ‘can-do’ attitude.

Preferably, you will be someone who understands trauma, adolescent brain development and currently holds relevant qualifications (e.g. registered social worker, youth worker, health, teaching etc.).

But the thing that will really stand out is your love for the work, and the people.  You’ll be ready to give your best in the service of others, in areas that really matter.  We’re up to big things, so if this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Excited? We are – because we’re up to big things! If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch with Jenny Ngarimu on 027 1800 2034
