Legal Literacy Kaimahi

About the Role

This is a fixed term part time (20 hours a week) position, which supports whānau engaged in the Family Court and Oranga Tamariki legal processes.

The purpose of this role is to support whānau with relevant needs pertaining to the Family Court and Oranga Tamariki legal processes. This position sits in the wider context of closing the gap in inequity within the justice and care and protection services. Engagement with the Family Court changes whānau dynamics, a process which can be disruptive for whānau and tamariki. This position seeks to provide technical and sound support for Māori whānau struggling to navigate the legal system, an area within which whānau are overrepresented.

• Do you possess knowledge of legal systems in Aotearoa?


• Do you have experience in mahi interfacing with Oranga Tamariki?


• Are you passionate about supporting whānau within a kaupapa Māori Trust?

We invite applications from suitably qualified, experienced and motivated people who have a passion for seeing whānau thrive. Ideally you will have a lived experience of te ao Māori, and experience in working with whānau in a community setting.

Salary is dependent on qualifications and years of experience.

Applications close: Friday 22 August

Please attach your CV and a cover letter detailing your experience with your application.
