Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

Community Service Coordinators are at the helm of understanding what our whānau are seeking as well as the services available in your community. This involves:

  • Gathering insights internally and externally about existing services and identifying opportunities in your community.
  • Establishing and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders and partners.
  • Raising the profile of Whānau Āwhina Plunket at relevant community events.
  • Recruiting, onboarding and communicating with our volunteers who run groups, provide in‑home support and other important initiatives.

A key organisational goal is to ensure honour and uphold our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and focus on providing better access to our services to our priority communities – Māori, Pacific Peoples, young parents, children in state care, Rainbow whānau and those living rurally. In conjunction with your Community Services Manager you’ll work together to ensure we are where we are needed most.

A fair level of computer literacy is needed as you’ll post and engage with whānau on our local social media pages and promote opportunities to prospective volunteers.

While experience working in the community would be advantageous, asking the right questions to understand the journey and services needed by parents and caregivers, then the drive to make it a reality is key to this role. Ideally you will be well networked across this region and able to hit the ground running with insights and ideas to help us move forward.
