HE AHA AI MĀTOU? | WHY US?

At Te Whānau o Waipareira, we do things the Waipareira way. You’ll join a kaupapa-driven team working shoulder-to-shoulder with whānau. Your mahi will be respected, your growth supported, and your contribution celebrated.

We offer:

• A collaborative, values-led workplace with heart
• Opportunities to grow your skills and advance your career
• A central Henderson office close to shops and public transport
• The chance to be part of lasting impact for our urban Māori communities

Join the Kōrure Whānau team at Te Whānau o Waipareira and stand with whānau as they secure safe, stable homes and reclaim their mana motuhake. As a Housing Kaiārahi, you’ll walk alongside whānau who face complex housing challenges. You’ll help them shape their own pathways to sustainable housing, linking them with wrap-around services, setting meaningful goals, and advocating for their needs.
Your mahi will go beyond finding a roof—it’s about fostering resilience, restoring confidence, and creating lasting change for whānau in West Auckland.
