Casual Residential Youth Workers

5 days ago

Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

_Are you passionate in making a real and positive difference to New Zealand's tamariki and rangatahi? _

We currently have an opportunity for Casual Residential Youth Workers to join the Epuni, Te Awe, and Mary Crescent teams in Lower Hutt.

**Mo m tou | About us**

**Our tamariki and rangatahi deserve to feel safe, have their voices heard, and be surrounded by loving wh nau. At Oranga Tamariki-Ministry for Children, we're on a journey to ensure that it happens. We are a leading social work practice that is child-centred, trauma-informed, and effective for all cultures. We are a Ministry with a commitment to putting tamariki and rangatahi at the heart of everything we do and say.

**Mo te tunga | About the role**

Oranga Tamariki is committed to providing comprehensive, proactive care and support to rangatahi during their stay and as they transition back into the community. To make this vision a reality, we are looking for Residential Youth Workers who are high quality role models and champions of rangatahi in our care. To help them achieve this, our Residential Youth Workers, as part of a team, provide daily care and support. They get involved assisting our young people to re-engage with school/vocation, attending appointments, having visits with their family, connecting with peers, and managing themselves within the home. We work to keep our rangatahi connected to the positive influences in their lives - mentors, wh nau, work and community-based programmes.

As a Casual Residential Youth Worker you will be required to cover the shifts of our Residential Youth Workers. This is not a 9 to 5 job - our rangatahi require wrap around support from us which is why our Residential Youth Workers do rostered shifts as we provide 24-hour, 7-days per week care (including weekends and public holidays).

Typical duties of the role can involve:

- Coaching rangatahi through our structured day and through all life necessities
- Participating in activities with our rangatahi
- Supporting our rangatahi by helping them with their studies, teaching them life skills such as cooking, art, music and cultural programmes and mentor them to make positive life choices
- Establishing rapport with rangatahi who have experienced trauma and assist with redirecting behaviour

Our team is dedicated to ensuring the time rangatahi spend at Epuni is transformative, meeting their needs and improving their future prospects. This role offers you the chance to be actively involved in the daily operations of the residence, working directly with rangatahi to understand their unique needs and help them succeed.

**Ng pumanawatanga ou | What you will bring**

We value our kaimahi and the wide range of skills and experiences they have. We want to hear from you if you have:

- High quality skills to work with rangatahi who may have behavioural issues.
- Studies or qualifications in psychology, social sciences, social work, education (not required but are beneficial)
- Knowledge or high motivation to learn Tikanga and Te Reo M ori
- Ability to operate within a reflective practice environment
- Available to work a roster that covers mornings, evenings, nights, weekends, and public holidays
- Willingness to support Epuni, Te Awe and Mary Crescent sites in Lower Hutt
- An appropriate level of physical health & fitness to interact with rangatahi
- Right to work in New Zealand
- Full, clean New Zealand driver's license
- Meet the safety checking and police vetting requirements required under the Children's Act

**Nou te rourou | What's in it for you**:
This position pays $26.00 per hour + 8% holiday pay on hours worked.

**Me pehea te tuku tono | How to apply**

**Applications Close: Wednesday 15 January**
- If you are interested in any of our vacancies, please ensure that you make yourself familiar with our code of conduct as it sets out our expectations for our kaimahi and requires you to present at work free from the influences of both drugs and alcohol._
