We are looking for a dynamic Social Worker to join our team based in Grey Lynn, Tāmaki Makaurau

Mō te tūnga | About the role

**Kia Manawanui Programme**:
The Kia Manawanui team sits within the Tāmaki Makaurau Specialist Teams site based at the Grey Lynn Oranga Tamariki office. The team was developed to meet the needs of complex rangatahi aged between 12-17 years throughout Tāmaki Makaurau through intensive social work practice. The team consists of five social workers and a youth worker.

The team traditionally holds lower case files than those seen on site, however Kia Manawanui covers both Family Court and Youth Court jurisdictions. Additionally, the team works in partnership with each other ensuring that kia mahi and rangatahi have significant support to provide the best practice and outcomes.

**The Kia Manawanui team objectives include**:

- Stabilising rangatahi - accessing options across the continuum of care
- Engaging rangatahi - identifying the risks, strengths and needs of young people (whakapapa, whanaungatanga, mana tamaiti, safety, health, education, identity, and wellbeing)
- Developing individual plans with rangatahi in conjunction with their whanau and professional support network.
- Implementing, monitoring, and managing the individual plans for each Rangatahi
- Reviewing plans to determine any changes required and to ensure goals are achieved

In addition to working alongside a supportive team, staff in the Kia Manawanui team have regular internal and external supervision as well as training in addition to the regular Oranga Tamariki staff training (such as training in Motivational Interviewing, Intensive Wraparound Service Programme and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy).

Ngā pūmanawatanga ōu | What you will bring
- Experienced with knowledge of Family or/and Youth Court jurisdictions
- Motivated to provide a high level of practice to rangatahi and whanau
