About You

This role offers a starting salary of $75,600 with the potential for progression over time through a competency frame work.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• Formal qualifications in psychology, counselling, psychotherapy, criminology, social work or other related studies . Adult learning training or facilitation is an advantage
• Experience delivering group programmes/interventions, being certified to deliver Department of Corrections rehabilitation programmes is an advantage
• A proven track record of planning and preparing programme sessions and monitoring progress to enable optimal participation and effective learning to the men in our care
• An ability to collaborate with colleagues, particularly in the areas of programme delivery, case management and custodial services.
• The ability to demonstrate the highest levels of personal integrity, ethical behaviour, learning quickly and being open to reflective practise and receiving feedback
• Experience in confidently and professionally networking both internally and externally
• A commitment to better outcomes for Māori and an appreciation for the partnership principles in the te Tiriti o Waitangi

This is a position of trust and responsibility and to support this we will conduct a thorough probity assessment as an essential selection component for this role.
