Job description

Overview

At Te Manawa Family Services we work with men, women, young people, children and families, helping them break the cycles of violence and abuse; helping them towards changed lives. There’s no shame, no blame – and no excuses. It’s about rebuilding relationships. It’s about restoring trust and respect.

Position

Due to an internal promotion, we’re looking for a Women’s Programme Facilitator to join our team.

Responsibilities

As Women’s Programme Facilitator, you will co‑facilitate group programmes, undertake assessments and reviews, and provide individual, and whānau support as required. You’ll take a holistic approach to the role, and understand that at its core, it’s about relationships. This will be your standout quality/skill.

Qualifications

We’d love it if you had a social worker qualification, and ideally registration with a professional body. At a minimum, you will need qualifications in some kind of human service (counselling). You’re supporting vulnerable people, so you need to know what you’re doing!

Team & Compensation

We’re a small but mighty team of 18 and we’re diverse in more ways than one. We genuinely care about the wellbeing of our team and are committed to social work pay equity bands. We know you’re worth it.

Contract

This role is permanent full‑time, 37.5 hours p/w, Monday‑Friday. Hours are 9am – 5pm. Afterhours sessions on as needed basis.

Legal & Safety

Please note: This role involves working with tamariki and is classified as a core children’s worker role under the Children’s Act 2014. The successful applicant will need to complete the required safety checks before starting.

Application Process

Applications will be reviewed as they’re received. With both the RYHR and TMFS office closed over the holiday period, onsite interviews are expected to take place in the new year.
