Community Services Coordinator - Gisborne (Part Time)The world is fast changing, and the needs of whanau raising tamariki have changed dramatically in recent years. Our community services provide supplementary support to our clinical teams to support holistic whanau wellness, provide helpful services and supporting stronger community bonds.
We're seeking a dynamic Community Services Coordinator to join our team in Gisborne on a part time (20 hours per week) permanent basis. You can choose the hours you work, we would ideally like these to be across either 4 or 5 days per week (Monday - Friday).
Our Community Services Coordinators ensure our community-based initiatives such as our parenting groups and programmes run smoothly, and our volunteers are well supported. You will have the opportunity to build connections with local community groups to develop initiatives that promote healthy confident whanau and pepi.
To support these initiatives, you might support events and fundraising initiatives and work alongside other Plunket Teams. This role involves ensuring our volunteers are prepared, informed and feel connected to our Kaupapa.
This role requires a degree of flexibility which could be the perfect match for your needs. Working across Gisborne and with volunteers means that the day to day needs will change, but the mahi also allows flexibility to work from home from time to time.
To thrive in this role, you will be confident in engaging with local groups and be able to effectively build relationships with whanau. You will have had prior experience working in a role where you built positive relationships and were able to diagnose needs before working towards a solution.
You will also need a full NZ Drivers Licence – although when you do travel for work, it will be during the work day and in one of our Plunket vehicles.
If you're seeking to work for an organisation that values improving society, join us at Whanau Awhina Plunket. In line with our values, we believe in caring for our people, to support your wellbeing and ongoing professional growth.
