You will work closely with whānau to restore their safety and mauri ora, using your deep understanding of Tikanga Māori to foster meaningful connections and create lasting change.

- Minimum of 3-5 years of experience working with whānau, particularly in the areas of family violence, social services, or community support.
- Demonstrated knowledge of community service networks, particularly in the Waitākere region.
- Proficient in case management and familiar with using Client Management Systems.
