Kia ora! We are looking for a motivated, suitably skilled, and experienced person for the role of Kaihaumanu based in Kerikeri. In this role, you will work closely with local police staff, Te Pae Oranga teams across the Mid and Far North while building meaningful partnerships with the local iwi and hapū.
Te Pae Oranga (TPO) is primarily for people who commit low level offending where it is not in the public interest to prosecute but they do need to be held to account for their offending behaviour. Te Pae Oranga helps people to address their behaviours that are driving offending, thereby assisting to reduce their likelihood of reoffending.

Engage in frontline activities where a cultural perspective may assist progress toward resolution.
Identify innovative approaches to address whanau harm particularly where Māori Youth participate both as offenders and/or victims.
Assist in establishing and maintaining strong and effective partnerships between stakeholders, whanau, particularly those involving Māori and/or youth.
Engage in work with young people and whanau to identify and create opportunities for solutions to whanau harm.
Assess and assist with frontline activities/initiatives to achieve better outcomes for Māori, whanau and communities.
He aha taau e kawe mai | What you’ll bring.
