The design and delivery of wellbeing support will be informed by tamariki and families/whānau voice, including ongoing delivery. Providing mechanisms and taking on board tamariki and whānau input is essential.


The role will report to the Service Manager Mental Health and Addictions (MH&A), and you will be expected to provide regular updates and reports on progress to attaining key deliverables, monitoring and appropriate escalation of risks and issues and capturing lessons learned.
