Based in Penrose, Auckland
Unique teaching opportunity
He aha te mea nui o te ao. He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.
A rare, rewarding opportunity to teach in a small, intensely supported classroom for rangatahi with complex needs.
Who we are
Te Kahu Tōī - Te Awa is a partnership between Oranga Tamariki and the Ministry of Education to provide Intensive Wraparound Services to rangatahi in the care of Oranga Tamariki aged between 11 and 17 years old, with high and complex needs, in the Auckland area.
As part of our services, to meet the educational needs of rangatahi with the highest level of need, we also provide a small, intensely supported classroom onsite, where rangatahi can attend as a stepping-stone for their next schooling option.
Te Awa is delivered by the Northern Health School and is located in Penrose, Auckland.
What you will do
You will teach a small group of rangatahi at our onsite classroom. Students attending Te Awa are all in the care of Oranga Tamariki, have often already been out of school for long periods of time, and can behave in ways that are very challenging.
Your mahi is critical to engaging rangatahi in their learning through planning and delivery of a highly intensive and individualised curriculum tailored specifically to their needs. A significant part of the programme includes Education Outside the Classroom with daily community outings which serve as an opportunity for rangatahi to experience learning through activities, positive role modelling, community engagement and peer relationships.
While the role can be challenging, you will be well supported by high staff: student ratios, behaviour and safety plans for each rangatahi (developed by our wraparound psychologists who deliver support and training for these), and a wider team of wraparound psychologists and facilitators who are also working with each rangatahi to provide intensive support across home, community and school to effect positive change.
**We offer**:
A close-knit team and great office culture
Opportunity to intensively teach small groups of rangatahi
A supportive management team with commitment to professional development
A role that is challenging but equally rewarding
Central Auckland location
**You will be**:
Confident delivering the NZ curriculum
Experienced in working with rangatahi from a range of backgrounds who have challenging behaviour
Empathetic, resilient and able to easily build rapport with rangatahi
Confident working in Te Ao Maori and Pasifika cultures
A creative thinker and problem - solver
Able to uphold professional and ethical boundaries
Able to build strong collegial relationships
Reflective about your own teaching practice, and willing to grow and develop professionally
A person who enjoys the outdoors, staying active and being involved in local community
A full clean driving licence is necessary for this role.
Te Awa Unit
Te Awa unit is intended for children and young people who are placed in the care of Oranga Tamariki in the Auckland region and who have high needs at home, in school and in the community. The students are usually between school years 7 and 11. The unit is in the Penrose area.
The service
A team of NHS teachers, psychologists, facilitators, mentors and support staff work with the young people and can provide two types of service:
An assessment service that looks at identifying young people’s needs or at answering specific referral questions (function of behaviour, education assessment, therapeutic needs, summary report).
The assessment of the young person’s needs will determine whether these can be met locally, from existing services or whether additional intervention is required from Te Awa. If an additional intervention is not required, the Te Awa psychologist and deputy unit leader will share recommendations and information necessary for the young person’s social worker and/or care provider to arrange a successful transition. Te Awa’s involvement with the young person and their family/whanau will cease and the case will be closed.
An intensive wraparound service, which aims at supporting young people:
learn new skills and ways of behaving
develop a healthy sense of personal identity
engage successfully in education at a local school
develop the skills necessary for building prosocial peer relationships
enjoy a successful home life, including developing relationships with family/whanau and community
The wraparound process involves the young person, their family/whanau and their team. They meet regularly to agree goals and devise a collaborative plan that is implemented between meetings. Regular reviews take place monthly with goals reviewed and new needs prioritised, strategies discussed and action points agreed to by all participants. Once the plan’s goals have been met, the young person will be transitioned out of the service.
