Mō te tūnga | About the Role

**Auckland Region Women's Corrections Facility**: A new initiative at Auckland Region Women's Corrections Facility (ARWCF) is underway, of which the goal is the development of a site-based delivery model for a psychological service that aligns with and integrates into the initiatives currently underway at the site, including the Te Mana Wāhine pathway for women and the women's strategy E rere ana ki te pae hou, ensuring we meet the psychological needs of the women housed there and the aspirations of Hōkai Rangi. Within this service there will be the opportunity to complete individual assessment and treatment and to run newly revised rehabilitation programmes that have been designed within a braided river (He Awa Whiria) approach - that is Te Ao Māori and Matauranga Māori sit alongside more Western psychological approaches to rehabilitation. The service is intended to operate from a therapeutic unit, providing psychological advice, support, and intervention, as appropriate. We are looking for passionate and dedicated psychologists to form part of this multi-disciplinary team, which will include a Kaupapa Māori Practitioner and a Reintegration Co-Ordinator.

- Has commitment to contributing to the outcomes of Hōkai Rangi
- Wants to begin or progress their career in a development focused service.
- Has a minimum of a Masters degree in Psychology (Clinical or Forensic Psychology and registration with the NZ Psychologist Board in the clinical/counselling and general scope of practice)

In return our services can offer you
- Vibrant supportive team cultures
- Career-long professional development and supervision
- An environment in which psychology informs organisational practices
- A competitive salary and structured advancement opportunities
- World class criminal justice psychology training and mentoring
- Therapeutic community unit-based work with a range of different professionals informed by various evidence-based psychological therapies

Utu ā-tau | Salary
The salary range for the role is $76,860 - $104,571 (Mid) - $125,485. We may also offer flexible and/or part-time options for working hours. Appointment and remuneration will reflect skills and experience relevant to the role.
Relocation Package
- Freight forward of $10,000
- 4-weeks accommodation
- 4-weeks rental vehicle hire
- Airport transfers of up to $300 and any stop-over accommodation

On offer is full-time or a rare 12-month secondment opportunity. If you are successful in securing a secondment, we are offering a rental vehicle hire for the duration of the secondment. We also offer pool cars from all across Auckland so you are able to pick up and come to the office
