Are you driven to support whānau on a journey of healing and transformation? Te Whānau o Waipareira is on the lookout for passionate Family Harm Kaimahi to join our Kōrure Whānau team. Be part of a team where every action, every kōrero, every connection makes a real difference.
Our Family Harm Kaimahi walk alongside whānau through two critical kaupapa:
