Auckland City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Do you like working with rangatahi, and are you keen to support them with their needs and their dreams, as they become independent adults? Are you up for the challenge of doing so from the other end of the phone? Then we want to hear from you today

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
Our Transition Advisors work together to operate the Transition Assistance service and helpline - the central hub and point of contact for Transition Support Services. Transition Advisors provide support to rangatahi aged 15-25 years that are transitioning from care and youth justice into adulthood. Transition Advisors help rangatahi to understand their entitlements, be connected to the services and supports available to them, provide financial assistance where appropriate and to put them in touch with face-to-face support should they require it. At times this may involve responding to requests from other people supporting these young people, such as whānau, caregiving whānau and professionals.
Transition Advisors need to be able to engage and build a relationship with rangatahi, responding to their needs and supporting them in their challenges. Using their experience in working with rangatahi, Transition Advisors will support rangatahi with a relational, trauma-informed, flexible and responsive approach, in keeping with the design and principles of the Transition Support Service.
