Support a young person to make positive changes in their life while living with you.

We are currently seeking individuals or couples based across Tāmaki Makaurau to become a Kia Puāwai caregiver in our specialised foster care programme. If you have the space in your home, time to invest in caring for a young person, and would like to help them learn and succeed – this is a hugely rewarding role.

In this role, you will:

-Care for a rangatahi aged 11-17 in your own home for approximately 12 months.
-Support rangatahi to attend school, engage in hobbies and activities, maintain a relationship with their whanau, and provide opportunities to learn life skills.
-Attend regular meetings and training to enhance your caregiving skills and receive feedback.

You will receive:

-Training and ongoing coaching in the specialist programme.
-Support by a multidisciplinary staffed team, including social workers and practice and cultural advisors.
-24/7 on-call support including weekly visits by your Practice Leader.
-Regular respite care cover so you can have a break each month.
-As an independent contractor, an attractive weekly allowance is paid as well as any agreed expenses reimbursed, for example, travel related to the young person in your care.
