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 site consists of three teams, each with a different Kaupapa and focus. We currently have one opportunity in each of the teams.
The Mana Tamariki team uses the Intensive Wraparound Service framework; a widely practiced international service delivery model. This framework guides our intensive social work practice focussing on creating support teams who work directly with tamariki and their whānau. Wraparound is an intensive and holistic philosophy of engaging with tamariki that have complex needs, and their Whānau so that they can achieve their goals whilst living at home and within their community.
The Kia Manawanui team was developed to meet the needs of complex rangatahi aged between 12-17 years throughout wider Tāmaki Makaurau who are very challenging for traditional social work practice to engage with. utilising an intensive social work practice the team typically works with rangatahi and whānau who have experienced trauma, mental health, severe behavioural presentations, complex living situations and/or offending behaviour.
The Ngā Pā Harekeke team was developed to meet the needs of complex rangatahi aged between 10-14 years who are offending. Utilising intensive social work practice the team works more in depth with fewer tamariki and whānau, however covering both Family Court and Youth Court jurisdictions will keep you busy. Additionally, the team works collaboratively with each other and other stakeholders ensuring that kia mahi and rangatahi have significant support to provide the best outcomes. Often rangatahi involved with the team require creative plans and staff need to be able to adapt and create pathways for rangatahi and their whanau.
