The wellbeing of tamariki and rangatahi is everyone's responsibility. They deserve to feel safe, have their voices heard, and be surrounded by loving wh nau and community. If these words reflect why you became a Social Worker, then you belong on the journey we've begun at Oranga Tamariki. We're looking for qualified, registered Social Workers who are committed to making a real difference by placing tamariki and rangatahi at the heart of everything they do.
At our Porirua site, we work closely with **Te Runanga o Toa Rangatira (Iwi)** and established community agencies (Hapori).

- Facilitate hui, focusing on empowering wh nau to strengthen their capacity to care for their tamariki and rangatahi
- Plan and deliver interventions that support tamariki and rangatahi to remain safely within their wh nau. A small cohort will have their FGC or Manaaki plans monitored in partnership with Hapori and/or Iwi
- Work with other Oranga Tamariki sites, as well as other community and government agencies
- Support tamariki in Care and those transitioning out of Care into long-term care arrangements or independent living
**What's in it for you | Nou te rourou**
- A competitive market salary between** $81,206** to **$97,557**:
