Mō te tūnga | About the role
After some professional and supportive training, you will become an instructor of a team of young people as they navigate through either a 1-week, 2-week or a 6-week course (age/circumstances dependent).
You will be an inspirational person who can provide leadership and training to youth of Aotearoa, supporting them to build confidence, resilience and develop self-belief by guiding them to see what potential they have and can achieve. You will also help them develop conflict and resolution skills.
We will not sugar-coat it; mental resilience is a must for this role, as some days will be challenging. However, the huge sense of pride and reward you will feel when you see youth that you have trained succeed, is worth it.
You will work alongside like-minded supportive peers made up of Military personnel, physical training instructors and social workers. To support you to perform at your best, there is ongoing comprehensive staff training and substantial support services available.
For further information about some of the courses you will be involved in, click here and here.
This role is based at RNZAF Ohakea as well as supporting Trentham Military Camp.
**Please Note**: The formal title for this role within the New Zealand Defence Force is Section Commander (Civilian).
Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and Experience
It is essential that some of your strengths include innovative problem solving and showing initiative, along with your ability to connect with teenagers and young adults whilst forming trustworthy relationships.
Empathy, respect and cultural awareness is important in this role, in order to understand how the youth of our many diverse cultures within Aotearoa, think and act.
You will need to be able to commit to working shift/roster work on weekends and outside of standard working hours. You will also need to be able and willing to stay overnight in a field environment, at locations as and when required (you will be compensated for both of these requirements).
**You will also**:
- Have extensive and relevant experience in youth development and support.
- Have the ability to tailor your instructional approach to meet individual learning needs.
- Be warm, calm and friendly with a sense of humour, able to have fun.
- Have a full, clean current drivers' licence.
- Demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to live and operate in a wilderness/field environment, be physically fit and able to carry a pack and attend physical training classes alongside your team.
- Hold relevant social services or clinical qualifications ideally in youth development.
