About the role | Mō te tūnga
As Probation Officer for Ara Poutama Aotearoa, you will work with people in our care and their whānau to address criminogenic behaviours and reduce reoffending.
Using principles of manaaki, kaitiaki, wairua, rangatira, and whanau, you will manage community-based sentences and orders, whilst also preparing reports for the Courts and New Zealand Parole Board.

You will treat those in our care and management with respect, upholding their mana and dignity.
