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 and rewarding opportunity for a challenge driven psychologist to work in a vibrant, multi-disciplinary team and be an ‘agent of change’ in the lives of rangatahi.

Who we are

Te Awa is a partnership between Oranga Tamariki and the Ministry of Education - Te Kahu Tōī, to provide Intensive Wraparound Services to rangatahi aged between 11 and 17 years old with high and complex needs who are in the care of Oranga Tamariki in the Auckland area.

Te Awa is delivered by the Northern Health School and is located in Penrose, Auckland.

Intensive wrapround is a highly effective, evidence-based model that creates positive, sustainable change for young people, their family, caregivers, schools and communities.

The ten principles of wraparound are

Family Voice and Choice
Team Based
Natural supports
Collaboration
Community based
Culturally competent
Individualised
Strengths based
Unconditional
Outcomes based

What you will do

As the wraparound psychologist you are responsible for a variety of intensive clinical work including assessment, intervention, psychoeducation, advocacy and best practice recommendations to the wraparound team for each rangatahi based on their identified underlying needs.

You will work closely with the wraparound facilitators (in dyads) to build high engagement and rapport with the rangatahi, their whanau, caregivers and wider team.

There is a high level of autonomy and no two days are the same.

We offer

A close-knit team and great office culture
Small caseloads that allow you to work intensively
Access to multiple layers of supervision and practice support
A supportive management team with commitment to psychologist professional development
Competitive remuneration
Work/life balance with flexible working options negotiable

You will be

A NZ registered psychologist
Experienced in working with rangatahi, whanau and caregivers
Confident working in Te Ao Māori and Pasifika cultures
Able to build rapport and engagement with a range of young people, families and professional teams. Your interpersonal skills are second to none.
An excellent communicator (written and verbal)
A problem solver and creative thinker. Thinking outside the box comes naturally to you.

A full clean New Zealand driving licence and police check are necessary for this role.
