**Mō mātou | About us**

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 believe **Aroha** is vital
- We respect the **Mana** of people
- We are **Tika** and **Pono**:

- 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**

The Disability team is a newly created team in the Enabling Communities & Investment Group. The team works to ensure the Oranga Tamariki Disability Strategy is implemented across the organisation to improve how we work with disabled people to uphold the rights of disabled tamariki, rangatahi and whānau. Using engagement, advice, advocacy, monitoring and reporting, the Disability team supports Oranga Tamariki to lift its disability capability and shift its policies, practices and services to improve outcomes for the disabled people we work with.

Our Disability advisors help ensure' the Strategy is implemented by business units across the organisation and are responsible for reporting on progress and impact. To be effective in the role, strong internal and external stakeholder relationships are critical.

As a member of the Voices group within Enabling Communities & Investment, our Disability advisors help ensure the perspectives of disabled tamariki, rangatahi and whānau are fed into the Integrated Voices programme so that their needs and experiences shape broader policy, practices, services, and resource allocation across the organisation.

As a key member of our team, this role would provide a unique opportunity to support delivery of our Disability Strategy through establishment and implementation of our organisational disability learning and development programme.
