Social Worker - Arohata Women's Prison - Tawa
At Ara Poutama Aotearoa, we are dedicated to offering a holistic approach to the care of the wahine under our supervision, acknowledging the intricate web of severe trauma, mental health challenges, substance abuse, unhealthy relationships, and poverty that often underpin their involvement in criminal activities. Our Women's Strategy is an essential component of our approach, prioritising tailored interventions and services designed to address the unique risks and needs of women. We are committed to managing women in a manner that is trauma-informed and empowering, recognising their resilience and potential for positive change.
Ngā kawenga | About the role
The Social Worker role plays a pivotal role in fostering the well-being of incarcerated women, with a particular emphasis on vulnerable individuals and mothers. As part of a diverse multi-disciplinary team comprising corrections officers, case managers, program facilitators, and healthcare professionals, the Social Worker collaborates to ensure the welfare of women in prison, guiding them through their period of incarceration and facilitating their transition towards a brighter future for both them and their children upon release.
This position is primarily focused on providing tailored support to incarcerated mothers, assisting them in maintaining their parenting roles, navigating through statutory child protection procedures, and strengthening their bonds with their children. Additionally, it involves spearheading best practices within mothers with baby's units, offering guidance to pregnant women throughout their term in prison, and aiding in pre-planning for their child's future. The role extends to supporting young women in positive youth development, facilitating access to appropriate support services for transgender men and women, and closely collaborating with statutory child protection agencies when mothers are incarcerated. Moreover, it entails the exploration of innovative approaches to promote the well-being of women within the prison environment.
