As a Peer Support Worker, you will draw from your own lived experience to empathise and inspire Whānau.

- Build trusting and engaging relationships with tangata whaiora and their whanau as appropriate.

**He kōrero mōu | About You**

We are looking for someone who is positive, flexible, vibrant, confident, and compassionate to work in our service. You will use your experiences and journey of your own lived experience to connect and kōrero with Whānau who require support.
- NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing - Level 4 or be able to demonstrate your current plans to achieve this mandatory requirement.
- Bring personal experience of mental distress and/or addiction challenges and can share your journey of taking control of your own wellbeing and the insights and personal awareness you built.
- Demonstrate a proven ability to work effectively with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, especially Māori and Pasifika communities.
- Be a positive and encouraging person with a good sense of humor, and the ability to role model how to move forward in a journey to wellbeing.
- Have a willingness to undertake training, and effective time management skills to manage competing demands and deadlines.
- Computer savvy and comfortable using multiple systems including Excel and Microsoft Office.
- The right to live and work in Aotearoa.

**Ko tā mātou mahi | We Offer**

Our team culture is very important to us. We build each other up, support one another and celebrate each other's success both personally and professionally. We love to have fun, drink coffee & laugh a lot - the conversation ranges from food and whānau, to travel and fitness.

In addition, we also offer:

- On-going group supervision and co-reflection
- Great staff benefits, including store discounts
- Ability to work anywhere in New Zealand
- A career that positively impacts your community
