- Building strong, mana-enhancing relationships with rangatahi and their whānau
- Designing and delivering learning programmes that are culturally rich and practically focused
- Supporting wellbeing through mātauranga Māori and pastoral care
- Collaborating with other services to wrap support around each young person
- Walking with rangatahi toward education, employment and personal growth

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | What You’ll Bring**
- Proven experience working with rangatahi (youth work, education, social work, mentoring or kaupapa Māori initiatives)
- Understanding of kaupapa Māori approaches to learning and development
- Ability to design creative, alternative education programmes
- Strong relationships across whānau, iwi, hapū and community networks
- A deep commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Whānau Ora

Bonus if you bring:

- A relevant qualification (teaching, social work, youth development or similar)
- Te reo Māori and tikanga confidence or a strong desire to grow in this space

**He aha ai mātou? | Why Us?**

Join a kaupapa Māori organisation grounded in **Te Kauhau Ora o Waipareira** - our values-led code of conduct.
- Be welcomed into a whānau-first workplace that values wellbeing, authenticity, and collaboration
- Access to professional development pathways and opportunities to grow your career
- Based in West Auckland, close to public transport and community.

**All applicants must have a valid New Zealand residency or work visa.**
