What you'll be part of :

You'll join a public service organisation committed to manaaki tangata, manaaki whanau — helping New Zealanders to be safe, strong, and independent.

You'll deliver integrated support across income, housing, and employment — helping clients navigate life transitions and connect to the right services, at the right time.

A full induction and training plan.
