Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Neon Logic Full time
  • Supporting people and their families to reach wellbeing goals through lifestyle change.
  • A Pacific model of care reflecting values, beliefs, and ways of working.
  • Integrated role in General Practice based in West Auckland and the City.

About the role

Investment in our mental health services, LagiOla – Healthy Minds, is being increased as we continue to transform how The Fono provides health and wellbeing services for Pacific families. Working with the entire general practice team, including GP's, Nurses, Mind Health Practitioners, Community Support Navigators, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Cultural Navigators and Whanau Ora, we are looking for a special person to join our West and City Teams. The Health Coach role supports patients/clients and their family through the development of skills, tools, confidence, and lifestyle choices that enable the achievement of wellness goals. Conversations around mental health, providing emotional support and linking families into other services relevant to wellness is also a key element of the role. The Fono is the leading service provider for Pacific families and the Health Coach role is aligned with Pacific models of care. The role sits within a skilled and trained workforce of practitioners who understand the Pacific context, values, uniqueness, and diversity.

About you

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone with a suitable health, mental health or social services background and a passion for working alongside Pacific people and their families. You will be comfortable working in a role requiring flexibility, and variety of approaches that are appropriate for our patients/consumers. You will see this as a tremendous opportunity to use your skills to make a difference in the physical and mental health of clients and patients you meet.

You will have:

  • Experience relevant to a community mental health, social or education role.
  • A broad understanding of health, social services, and mental health challenges within Pacific communities.
  • Knowledge of protocols amongst Pacific peoples with the ability to work across various Pacific groups.
  • A positive 'can-do' attitude, particularly in times of stress.

About us

A message from The Fono's CEO - Tevita Funaki

Because you're thinking about a career with The Fono Trust let me tell you why that could be a great idea. When you become part of The Fono family you are sharing over 30 years of heritage as the Pacific organisation proven to have the power to generate substantial improvements for Pacific peoples in health and wellbeing right across Auckland.

As an employee you become an important part of FonoCare – our unique Integrated Model of Care. It is The Fono's lifeforce and guides us all in our commitment to equity in outcomes. What our Integrated Model of Care can achieve inspires us every day when we connect with the communities and families we serve. Seeing how The Fono has grown through innovative thinking that doesn't accept it can't be done - It can, and we've proved it time and time again. Taking personal inspiration from the past and what our people at The Fono are achieving every day through our services.

FonoCare - The Fono Integrated model of Care is an expanding range of high-quality primary health, mental health, dental services, public health, health support, whanau ora, social services -- including the Feleoko family support/food bank to Pasifika and all who need our care. The Fono also has the Oceania Career Academy as a service providing, as a NZQA Category One tertiary institution, highly successful training, and transitions to employment.

We lead the way in developing partnerships with the community and other providers. The term "fono" in our name is particularly suitable for our identity as its meaning reflects meetings between people. And that's what we offer the people we serve and the people who join The Fono family as employees or contractors. With links into all areas of Pasifika community life we have a unique ability to make our high quality, affordable health, and social services conveniently available across our vibrant and multicultural city from eight locations and through outreach services.
