Your work will involve significant courtroom time conducting litigation on behalf of Oranga Tamariki, with a focus on ensuring good outcomes for tamariki and their whānau.

- You have excellent communication, digital and written skills;
- You are a 'straight up' person who is honest, transparent and keeps your word. You are a team player and enjoy collaborating with others
- A clean drivers license and ability to use Oranga Tamariki vehicles to travel within the region
Nōu te rourou| What's in it for you
We offer a vibrant and supportive team, flexible work options and a genuine commitment to wellbeing. We offer significant training and professional development so that you can thrive and grow.
This is an opportunity for your governance talent and expertise to make a real difference for tamariki and rangatahi in Aotearoa.
