We're on the hunt for caregivers! ✨
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.

In this role, you will:

-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.

🎭 Tricky, Twisty, and Totally Fun—Let’s Riddle! 🤹♂️
I bring people together, though I’m not alive;
I’m small but vital, helping communities thrive;
I’m often green, sometimes blue or red—
without me, connections might be dead—
What am I?

Reminder: Tomorrow is our national walk-in adoption day with 50% off adoption fees
That’s right – if you’re ready to adopt, you can swing by your nearest SPCA Centre tomorrow (Saturday 5 April) to meet the animals without an appointment ?
It’s our goal to Clear the Shelters, so we’re offering 50% off all adoption fees until Sunday 13 April. With 1,100 animals currently available for adoption across the country, we’d love for you to come along tomorrow and meet those waiting. ?
You can also head over to our website to check out their profiles, and register your interest early if there’s a particular cutie who catches your eye – this will speed things up on the day.
To keep the experience as calm and positive as possible for our animals and staff, we kindly ask that only those seriously considering adoption attend.
See you tomorrow!
