Build the skills for this role
Build strength in Whānau Ora navigation, active listening, interagency coordination, and accurate case notes. Te reo and tikanga Māori capability, trauma-informed practice, and local knowledge of Hauraki/Waikato supports are highly relevant. No formal cert package is listed for this posting.
Prepare short examples of supporting whānau through complex systems, managing boundaries, and working in a kaupapa Māori or community-health setting. Be ready to explain how you prioritise, escalate risk, and partner with other services. Ask about caseload, team structure, and how Te Korowai measures navigator outcomes.
Strong fit if you are calm under complexity, whānau-centred, and comfortable in community and home settings around Thames. Less ideal if you prefer purely clinical or desk-only work with little interagency coordination.
