Rangatahi Ora - Kaimahi

We have a strong reputation for our mahi, particularly our work with rangatahi Maori.

We are looking for a Kaimahi / youth worker to join our team and help deliver our after-school club-based programme. Rangatahi Ora provides safe, fun, kaupapa Maori spaces where tamariki and rangatahi (7–14) can connect with each other, explore their identity, strengthen wellbeing, and simply enjoy being tamariki.

This role is 20 hours per week and involves facilitating three sessions per week, alongside programme planning, notes, and administration. Additional time may be required over school holidays for camps, team development noho and holiday programmes.

• Facilitate weekly club sessions for tamariki and rangatahi, creating safe, playful, and mana-enhancing environments.
• Build strong, positive relationships with tamariki, whanau, and community partners.
• Support tamariki to co-create their kawa and moemoea for the term and to reflect on their growth.
• Deliver activities that align with Te Manawa o Te Hauora values: Tika, Pono, Aroha, and Mana Motuhake.
• Work alongside the Rangatahi Ora team to plan, reflect, and ensure high-quality delivery.
• Complete programme notes, admin, and reporting as required.
