Full Time, Permanent, Christchurch


We are seeking inspired and talented people leader with the vision, knowledge, skill, and drive to continue our transition to providing trauma-informed, developmentally tailored and culturally responsive services to youth offenders in custody, with the ultimate goal of them returning to their whānau and communities.

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


Our Youth Justice Residence, Te Puna Wai ō Tuhinapo, in Rolleston, Christchurch provides a safe, secure and supportive environment where rangatahi (young people) who have offended can make changes and get their lives back on track.

In addition to maintaining secure facilities, we aim to help rehabilitate young offenders.

The reason we do this is because every young person of Aotearoa deserves the chance to lead the best life they can, just like other young people their age.

Our Residence team understands that the causes of offending are complex, and that successfully dealing with young offenders, demands action beyond simple punitive measures.
