He Aha Te Mea Nui o Te Ao?
What is the most important thing in the World?
He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata!
It is people, it is people, it is people!
Te Haeata/The Opportunity
If you want to make a difference to the lives of our tamariki and whanau, enjoy engaging with communities, have existing networks with iwi and community organisations, take a collaborative approach and like to work on your own and as part of a team, then this role is for you.
As a visible role within the community, you will actively engage and collaborate with local iwi, service providers, community groups, and agencies to ensure accurate information is being communicated to families and the court where applicable, as well as understanding the availability and suitability of their services and resources.
A key aspect of the Kaiarahi role will be relationship building between these communities and the Justice system, bringing your knowledge of the Family Court and Judicial Services processes to the conversation to work with participants and the court to facilitate access to justice.
While this position is based in the Invercargill District Court, you will also be required to travel in and out of the community on a regular basis. This is not your standard 9-5 role, and from time to time you will need to be able to work weekends and outside normal work hours, to meet the needs of our communities. Travel across your region will also be required to ensure all communities across Aotearoa are receiving consistent, quality support.
Ō pūkenga/Skills and Experience
No candidate will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we have outlined and believe you can bring value to the role, we'd love to hear from you!
We are looking for people who reflect the community we are serving in and who can effectively assist Te Tāhū o te Ture in honouring our commitment to the people of Aotearoa. Your experience working with community groups and a wide range of socio-economic family situations is important to successfully implementing this new service. A full driver's licence is also required.
This position is operating at a community leadership level, so the ability to be self-managed and work both independently and with your regional team is key. We are also looking for someone who has the ability work fairly independently as well as part of a team, and brings in a good level of creativity and innovation to our space.
Key skills and experience include:
