Mō te tūnga | About the role
There are different areas in which our Social Workers within the Services for Children and Families portfolio operate and these positions are available for both:

- The Intake and Assessment team work all the way through the assessments up until the Family Group Conference stages. This team investigates reports of concern and/or potential risk to tamariki.

Across our sites we are working with tamariki, rangatahi and their whānau to make positive changes in our community. We need people who have knowledge, experience and who are deeply passionate about whānau wellbeing.
