Ko wai | Who: Hauora Aotearoa, a charity leading generational change, seeks a Pouako | Facilitator to address the wellbeing crises among rangatahi and teachers. Our programme, Te Reo Hauora, blends Te Whare Tapa Whā with Western brain science, teaching daily hauora tools to kaiako and rangatahi. Our goal is to reach 50 schools annually by 2026.

He aha | What: We are looking for people to facilitate our Te Reo Hauora programme in schools in the Wellington region. We know there are many powerful ways to work with young people, so we welcome people with experience as sports coaches, trainers, teachers | kaiako, kapa haka tutors, youth workers, counsellors or mentors for rangatahi. You will be responsible for the delivery of Te Reo Hauora in 2-4 schools alongside one of our current Pouako.

• Hei Pouako ki ngā rangatahi | Powerful with rangatahi: You can create a safe space for rangatahi to explore who they are and how to live well.

Hei iho pūmanawa | Role model of hauora: You must be a role model for the hauora practices we teach. You must be committed to your own wellbeing practices.

You will receive constant feedback and upskilling in this role.
