  • Lead the design and delivery of risk management training.


At Oranga Tamariki we want to empower our people with flexible working arrangements to be their best at both work and home, and ultimately better meet the needs of our tamariki.

That is why we are embracing flexible working by default.

All roles are treated as flexible unless there is a good business reason not to be and working flexibly does not undermine career progression or opportunities.
