Residential Youth Worker
4 weeks ago
- Permanent, Full Time Roles Available
- We need role models with a passion for supporting and empowering rangatahi
- Attractive remuneration and benefits package
Take a step away from doing work that is the same day in and day out. Join the team at our Te Maioha Youth Justice Residence as a Residential Youth Worker and take pride in knowing that the work you do every day makes a real difference to the lives of our tamariki.
What is a Youth Justice Residence? It's a place where 13-17-year-olds accused of an offence stay to await court proceedings or serve a sentence. This means they are not free to leave. However, a residence is not a prison, and our Residential Youth Workers are not prison guards.
At all times we prioritise the safety and security of our tamariki and staff on site, however, we are committed to ensuring that the time tamariki spend in our residences will improve their prospects for the future. Our Residential Youth Workers are there to keep our tamariki safe, but they're also mentors, role models and coaches.
We offer a variety of interesting, educational, and fun activity programmes for our young people while they stay with us. A few examples of the activities we offer might include cooking classes, gaming and sports tournaments, vocational and cultural demonstrations, and lessons with leaders from the local community and much more
Our Residential Youth Workers enrich the lives of our tamariki and maximise learning opportunities and engagement with positive role models. They work alongside our partners to build high-trust relationships and help tamariki develop the skills, behaviours, and attitude they will need to meaningfully contribute to their whānau and their community.
Ngā pūmanawatanga ōu | What you will bringOur Youth Workers join us with a broad array of experiences, perspectives, and passions. The most important thing that they all have in common is that they are determined to be there for our tamariki. To succeed in this role, you need to be able to listen without judgement to build trust and respect.
You might have worked with children previously (this could be as part of your job or in your social life i.e., coaching sports, mentoring, tutoring etc). Alternatively, you might have experience in customer service, healthcare, psychology, education, sports, trades, music, or art.
Our best Youth Workers are those who are passionate about sharing their interests, culture, experiences, and what matters to them with our tamariki and being a positive, consistent role model
- You must be willing to work a roster that covers mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
- You must be physically willing and able to play sports and interact with our tamariki safely.
- You must be able to pass a Vulnerable Children's Act check and Police vetting.
- You must be reliable and consistent in your work attendance - our tamariki count on a consistent routine and seeing familiar faces
- You must be able to present at work free from the influences of drugs and alcohol.
If you join our team and work as part of our team working shifts in our residence you will receive a package of remuneration and benefits that includes:
- 4 weeks and three days of annual leave each year
- A generous 20% allowance paid on top of base remuneration for working as part of a rotating roster (shift work).
- Meals that are prepared by our commercial kitchens and provided on-site - our kaimahi are encouraged to sit with rangatahi and share a meal and meaningful conversations.
- Regular training and professional development so that you can thrive and grow your skills and capabilities.
- Access to counselling and support when you need it through our employee assistance programme which reflects our genuine commitment to supporting the wellbeing of our kaimahi.
We offer a remuneration package that starts between approximately $57,760 and $65,334 (depending on your experience). On top of this, we also apply a 20% allowance to your base remuneration for working shifts/a roster pattern. The 20% allowance is applied once you have completed your initial induction and are placed onto a rotating roster that covers days, evenings and weekends. Base remuneration plus the 20% allowance works out to be between $64,766 and $78,400 (depending on your experience). Additionally, Oranga Tamariki has a remuneration framework that offers step-based annual increases based on your tenure.
