**_ A call to you to help create a world where children and families are valued and flourish._**

Stand Tū Māia is looking for a social work team leader committed to restoring and preserving child and family safety and wellness.

We have an exciting opportunity for a senior practitioner to join our incredibly dedicated team in our Children's Village in Gisborne.

Known internally as 'Village Team Leader' your primary responsibilities will be to help lead the delivery of therapeutic care and education services to children aged 5 to 12 who have experienced significant trauma in their lives and who need support to recover and reach their potential.

The role also includes providing social work supervision to support other social workers and care workers to contribute to the development of service excellence.

Reporting to the Kahukura Ora Service Leader, the role is to provide leadership, practice and procedural oversight on rostered shifts, Mon-Fri (rostered weekend work is not required).

The vision of Stand Tū Māia is Tāmatatia and Tiakina. That tamariki and whānau who experience multiple forms of adversity will have their safety and wellbeing restored and preserved for future generations. To this end our services strengthen family relationships, support the development of child and adult self-regulation and core executive skills, and work to reduce sources of stress. Respect and healing relationships are at the heart of our mahi. All staff are expected to demonstrate cultural humility and a commitment to restoration of whānau as a form of Te Tiriti redress.

**Person Specification/ Key competencies**
- Proven supervision and leadership experience and a commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi and working bi-culturally.
- Successful social work experience working effectively within goal oriented, solution focused, multidisciplinary and strength-based models of practice.
- You will need to have a passion for child and family wellness, be able to bring a trauma lens to the work and enjoy growing good practice and teamwork.
- You will have registration or be registerable with the Social Work Registration Board
- Full driver's licence

**What we offer**:
Belong to a dynamic and innovative organisation with great training and professional development opportunities.

We celebrate and seek diversity and are committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone can be their ‘true' selves.

As an employee of Stand Tū Māia you will be a Pou Māia nō Tū Māia. This means we will stand together side by side, shoulder to shoulder in achieving our vision. Together we are resilient, strong and confident pillars of the house of Stand Tū Māia.

While this is a Social Work role, consideration can be given to applicants who are qualified and registered professionals in other disciplines, such as Psychology, Occupational Therapy or with post graduate or master qualifications in professional supervision.
