Auckland City, New Zealand Safe Network Full time

**About Us**

Safe Network is the Government's preferred provider of community-based therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and adults with concerning, problematic and harmful sexual behaviour across the upper North Island. We understand that there are many reasons why children and young people may exhibit sexual behaviours that are inappropriate or unexpected for their age, most often linked to traumatic experiences, poor impulse control and emotional regulation, and a need for connection.

**About the Role**

As a Counsellor at Safe Network, you will utilise your therapeutic skills to support our tamariki and rangatahi through:

- Conducting assessments and delivering interventions from a wider systemic and socio-ecological perspective.
- Using your clinical expertise to provide a range of therapeutic interventions with children, young people and their system of support, including family, caregivers, schools, and other agencies.
- Effectively managing own caseload and administrative requirements.
- Initiating and maintaining strong working relationships with key stakeholders to best support the child/young person and their family.
- Bringing hope and making a sustainable difference to children and young people, their families and their communities
- Flexible hours available - full or part time.

**About You**

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

- Experience working with tamariki and rangatahi in a therapeutic setting.
- Tertiary level therapeutic qualification with New Zealand registration, or working towards gaining registration.
- Experience forming strong, client centred therapeutic alliances with tamariki and rangatahi and their families/whanau.
- The ability to work closely with the child’s school and social systems.
- Strong clinical report writing skills and an ability to conceptualise and formulate case intervention plans.
- An understanding on the influence of trauma and attachment on behaviour.
- A positive and non-judgemental attitude towards our clients.
- Skills and experience in working with Māori and/or Pasifika clients and within clinical and cultural frameworks.

**What we offer**

Safe Network offers a unique career opportunity in the area of working with concerning sexual behaviour, where you will be supported by generous professional development opportunities and the ability to expand on your specialised knowledge and experience in an area of growing demand.

In addition, we also offer:

- Employer-funded **health, trauma or critical care, and income protection insurance** through nib.
- Support through **professional supervision** and EAP (Employee Assistance Programme).
- Competitive **remuneration** package, including professional registration.
- Free on-site **carparking**.
