Taking every opportunity to prevent harm

Mō te ūnga | About the role

He Aranga Ake (HAA) is a multi-agency violent extremism disengagement framework established to support New Zealand’s ‘Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism National Strategy’. The overarching objective of HAA is to reduce the risk posed by individuals on a pathway to commit an act of violent extremism or terrorism. HAA works to identify and respond to the multidimensional interaction of risk and protective factors of participants on HAA and provide them with wrap around services and support to direct their behaviours away from violent extremism.

Underpinning the success of the framework is the collective ability of the partner agencies to share information and work together to develop plans, provision services, and deliver interventions to support a participant’s plan. HAA is embedded within Police and based at Police National Headquarters (PNHQ), however interventions are delivered locally, coordinated centrally by HAA Case Managers, and supported by the partner agencies.

This role sits within a small, supportive team and reports to the HAA Operations Manager. Case Managers deliver the personalised intervention plans and oversee the operationalisation of them. You will be responsible for coordinating and leading Regional Intervention Meetings (RITs) that bring agencies and service providers together to deliver holistic interventions to support a participant.

This is a prevention-based role, which requires strong relationship management skills to identify, coordinate, and work with appropriate service providers. The Case Manager will work directly with a participant to discuss types of interventions that would support disengagement from their violent extremism behaviours.

Key Accountabilities

• Build rapport and relationships with participants, supporting them to undertake interventions and review progress and goals collaboratively.
• Establish, facilitate, and coordinate multi-agency RIT meetings that drive participants’ progress on the framework.
• Facilitate appropriate interventions in a timely manner, ensuring they align with overarching goals and the needs of the participant.
• Use your networks and relationships to build new partnerships with service providers that can support a participant’s journey on HAA.
• Report to the National Coordination Group on participants’ progress on the framework and elevate risks and opportunities as appropriate.
• Maintain knowledge of current and emerging violent extremism vulnerabilities, threats and protective factors.
