If you're an experienced social worker and like the idea of having an influence at a systematic level to get stuff done in the family violence field, we need to chat. We're looking for a full-time Te Kauru Coordinator to join the team as part of a nationwide initiative. As Te Kauru Coordinator, you will provide coordination and leadership for the daily Te Kauru Safety Assessment Meeting that involves 14 local agencies in the family violence field.

Your experience in social work (with a focus in family violence), will allow you complete risk and safety assessments and triage them out to the relevant agencies. Your ability to coordinate will ensure the various agencies are able to work together cohesively – you will drive this by leading the daily meetings and ensuring all members know what's going on and they have the information they need. Your innate ability to think quickly and make decisions will ensure family and whanau are safe. This is key. You will have good administrative & IT skills, as you will have oversite of the Family Safety System. If you've heard of Power BI, that's what you'll be working in. If you haven't heard it, don't be afraid! As long as you have the capability to learn it, you'll be fine.
