About the role

As a Health Navigator at Te Mana Oranga Trust, you will play a pivotal role in improving health outcomes for the local community. Although this full-time position is based in Kaikohe, Northland, you will be responsible for supporting and guiding individuals and families to access the healthcare services they need.

What you'll be doing
Assisting clients to navigate the healthcare system and access appropriate services, including general practice, medical specialists, community health providers and social services.
Providing one-on-one support and advocacy to help clients overcome barriers to accessing care.
Connecting clients with relevant resources and programs.
Collaborating with healthcare providers and community organisations to coordinate holistic care.
Maintaining detailed client records and preparing reports.
Participating in team meetings and professional development activities.
Lots of driving, picking people up for appointments so you will be one who loves to chat.
What we're looking for
Level 4 Mental Health and Wellbeing Certificate is the minimum qualification.
Demonstrated ability to build rapport and work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the capacity to liaise with healthcare professionals.
Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
Commitment to improving health equity and advocating for vulnerable populations.
Cultural competence and understanding of local community needs.
Experience working with sufferers of mental health and addictions.
New Zealand residents only - we will not be sponsoring anyone from overseas.
The successful applicant will be required to undergo a Police check.
