Oranga Hinengaro (Specialist Kaupapa Maori Mental Health Service)
MidCentral, as a leading provider of mental health services in the lower North Island, includes Oranga Hinengaro, a specialist Kaupapa Maori Mental Health team. The purpose of this team is to improve the level and effectiveness of mental health services provided to Maori in the moderate to severe range.
The delivery of mental health and addiction services for Maori is a key area for positive change in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Oranga Hinengaro, in essence, is mental wellbeing from Maori perspectives. We are striving for a future where mental health services are informed by the mahi and views of people with lived experience, as well as clinical and cultural perspectives.
We have a full-time, permanent position within our Kaupapa Maori Mental Health Team and are seeking applications from suitably qualified clinical psychologists with clinical expertise and a background in mental health. We are seeking a skilled professional who is open to working in an environment where equity is valued, working in Kaupapa Services. A team approach is essential when working with programs in Mental Health FACT. This includes developing Maori insights to work with whaiora and whanau Maori.
If you are a health professional committed to working within the Palmerston North and Horowhenua area, we welcome your application.
