Mō te tūnga | About the role

Our Youth Justice Residences provide 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.

We do this 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.

Guiding positive behavioural change is often challenging and our residential youth workers have many responsibilities, including:

  • Ensuring that a safe and secure environment is maintained for the benefit of the rangatahi, staff and the community
  • Supporting young offenders in their personal growth and rehabilitation with a focus on health, education, training and employment
  • Working with rangatahi to help them build and strengthen relationships with their whānau and communities and encouraging them to act on referrals to services
To do well in this role a tertiary qualification in sport, health, education or youth work would be useful but life skills such as carpentry, culture, arts and sport skills are invaluable

Our Residences run a 24/7 operation with staff working various shift times. The shifts are;

  • Korowai Manaaki: AM Shift (6.30am3.00pm) & PM Shift (2.30pm11.00pm)
  • Whakatakapokai: AM Shift (7.00am7.00pm) & PM Shift (7.00pm7.00am)
All shifts involve working weekends and public holidays when available on an on-call casual basis.
This position pays $26.00 per hour + 8% holiday pay on hours worked


Please be aware that if you are successful in securing the role, you will be required to complete 6 weeks of paid training, Monday to Friday 8.30am - 5pm.

Commencement of the next intakes / training course are scheduled for July 2024

Ngā pūmanawatanga ōu | What you will bring
We value our kaimahi and the wide range of skills and experiences they have.

We want to hear from you if you have:

  • A passion for wanting to make a positive difference in the lives of rangatahi
  • The ability to build positive relationships with a wide range of people
  • Good communication skills with the ability to work with others and contribute to a supportive and inclusive team
  • Knowledge of Tikanga and Te Reo is an advantage
  • Oranga Tamariki is committed to developing our kaimahi to develop this important capability
  • Willingness and ability to work across a roster that covers mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays
  • A good level of physical fitness that will allow you to safely support and interact with rangatahi
