Care Coordinator - Forensic Coordination Services at Ministry of Social Development, Auckland

About us:

The Ministry of Social Development is a people-centred organisation. We're in communities across the motu, working with partners to help New Zealanders be safe, strong and independent.

We provide social policy and advice to government and assistance, including income, employment and housing support to people of all ages, families, whānau and communities.

As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner we are committed to supporting and enabling Māori, whānau, hapū, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations.

Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they are.

The Forensic Coordination Service – Intellectual Disability coordinates the safe management of tāngata whaikaha and provides a pathway for offenders with an intellectual disability away from the criminal justice and mental health systems towards more appropriate disability services.

Mō te tūnga / About the role:

You will ensure tāngata whaikaha know their rights and the process of requesting a review. You will support them and their whānau to hold meaningful expectations and aspirations for their lives.

You will identify all funded and non-funded services and support options for tāngata whaikaha and coordinate a package of care, in consultation with tāngata whaikaha and whānau as appropriate, ensuring it is based on their assessed and prioritised needs and consistent with the Court approved Care and Rehabilitation Plan.

We value diversity and welcome applications from disabled people and those who have lived experience with whānau, or the disability community. Please contact us if there is any support that we can provide to ensure the recruitment process is accessible to you.

This is a fixed term or secondment role ending 5 September 2025.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Previous experience working with the disability community and frontline client care experience with Intellectual Disability clients.
  • Proven knowledge of relevant legislation such as the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003 and The Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003.
  • Experience using facilitation and problem-solving strategies to work collaboratively with others both internally and externally.
  • A specialist knowledge and understanding of service coordination would be an advantage but not essential.
  • Strong relationship management skills and the ability to communicate with a wide range of stakeholders.

This role will require the successful candidate to obtain a satisfactory Children's Worker Check, be willing to travel for work from time to time and have a current full driver's license.
