We are looking to appoint energetic, reliable, and driven Youth Workers within our Korowai Mentoring programme. The programme works primarily with rangatahi Māori and aims to reduce reoffending by restoring personal mana and cultural identity. 

The role is full time and supports our young people across the Auckland region with a focus on culturally responsive and relevant practice.

We would like you to have:

• Strong relationship building abilities and the ability to work within a team
• A drive to connect rangatahi to their culture and whakapapa
• A basic understanding of Te Ao Māori (a Māori world view), tikanga, and preferably Te Reo Māori 
• Good oral and written communication skills
• An affinity for our client base
• Resilience, empathy, and understanding 
• A can-do attitude and desire to learn
• Understanding of, and commitment to, Te Tiriti o Waitangi
• Experience in the industry is preferred but not a must-have. Some of the best Youth Workers make the move into the industry because of their own life experience. If this is you, we'd still love to see your application. 

Included in the package for this role:

• Annual salary
• Use of a company vehicle available for personal use outside of work hours. Fuel card, WoF, registration, insurance, maintenance covered by Reconnect.
• Fully subsidised health insurance which can be extended to family members at a discounted rate
• Fully funded Level 4 Youth Work qualification
• Full training and development opportunities
• A vibrant, caring work environment
