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.
As a Kaiārahi (Navigator) Whānau Ora with Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki in Thames, you would typically walk alongside whānau to clarify goals, connect them to hauora and social supports, and coordinate plans in a Whānau Ora way. Days often mix kanohi-ki-te-kanohi hui, phone follow-ups, liaison with kaimahi and external agencies, and careful recording of next steps. Expect relationship-first work, cultural safety, and practical problem-solving rather than clinic-only tasks.
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.
