Join our Kaupapa Māori Team as a Health Coach

We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Health Coach to join our warm, friendly, and passionate team. This is a meaningful opportunity for someone with strong interpersonal skills who is committed to empowering whānau to achieve their hauora goals.

At our clinic, we operate within a kaupapa Māori framework that guides our approach to care, whanaungatanga, and community support. Our values are grounded in tikanga Māori, and we are focused on achieving equitable health outcomes for all our whānau.

About the Role

As a Health Coach, you will work alongside our team to support whānau on their health journey. You'll help people navigate the health system, understand their conditions, and develop the skills and confidence to make positive lifestyle changes.

This role is ideal for someone who may have experience in social work, health navigation, or community health, and who wants to make a real difference in a supportive, culturally responsive setting.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support whānau to access health services and understand their health conditions

  • Work closely with nurses, GPs, and other health professionals to provide wraparound support
  • Connect whānau with community resources, social supports, and advocacy services
  • Promote health literacy in a way that is accessible, culturally safe, and empowering
  • Encourage and support whānau engagement in preventative care and long-term condition management
  • Contribute to achieving key health targets and reducing health inequities
What We Offer
  • A kaupapa Māori working environment where your culture and values are respected
  • A collaborative and supportive team committed to making a difference
  • Ongoing training and development to grow your skills as a Health Coach
  • A role with deep community impact and purpose
  • Competitive pay and a whānau-centred workplace culture
What We're Looking For
  • Experience in a similar role (e.g., health coach, kaiārahi, social worker, community health worker)
  • A high level of empathy and understanding of Māori health needs and aspirations
  • Ability to build trusting relationships with whānau from all walks of life
  • Strong communication and motivational skills
  • Organised, proactive, and able to work both independently and as part of a team
  • Commitment to improving health equity and supporting whānau-led solutions
