Social Worker Youth Justice - Rotorua at Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children, Bay of Plenty
  • 2 x Permanent Role
  • Role based at Rotorua Youth Justice Site
  • Remuneration starting from $81,206- $97,557 based on experience

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 respect the Mana of people
  • We value Whakapapa
  • We recognise that Oranga is a journey

We are committed to ensuring that New Zealand is the best place in the world to be a child. We are also committed to ensuring Oranga Tamariki partners with hapū, iwi and Māori organisations to find appropriate solutions for tamariki in need.

Mō te tūnga | About the role

Youth Justice is a pathway for tamariki and rangatahi who have, or are alleged to have, committed an offence. It gives them a genuine opportunity to change their lives for the better without getting a criminal record and to make positive strides forward.

In this role as a Youth Justice Social Worker within the team, you will work in partnership with rangatahi, their whānau, police, youth advocates and essential government and community support services to address the underlying factors that contribute to offending as early as possible, to reduce the potential for lifelong offending.

This role will provide a real opportunity to positively influence rangatahi and whānau in your community. Our belief is that in the right environment, with the right people surrounding and nurturing them, any tamariki and rangatahi can, and should flourish.

To be considered for this position you must hold a Social Work Qualification and/or Full Registration and a current Annual Practicing Certificate with the New Zealand Social Worker Registration Board.

  • A passion for working with youth, connecting, understanding and building relationships to help provide positive outcomes for our rangatahi
  • A Social Work Qualification with Full Registration and current Annual Practising Certificate with the New Zealand Social Worker Registration Board
  • Excellent relationship building skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills (you will need to provide professional written and verbal feedback to the courts)
  • A commitment to bi-cultural practice and a culturally responsive approach (including a good understanding of Tikanga Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi)
  • An understanding of the Oranga Tamariki Act and Youth Justice processes
  • Proven expertise and social work practice in child protection and an understanding of New Zealand legislation that relates to the safety of children and young people
  • A full clean NZ driver's licence

Nōu te rourou | What's in it for you
