Māori Pathways
There’s big changes in the Department of Corrections aimed at lowering the proportion of Māori in the system. Come and help us make a difference for Māori in the corrections system.
We have to do our job differently to make a positive difference to Māori and their whānau. Our Hōkai Rangi strategy outlines our new direction. The Māori Pathways programme encompasses a new way of working to support that change using kaupapa Māori and whānau-centred approaches.
Hawke's Bay is one of two key locations for Māori Pathways and has started recruiting for staff keen to be part of the Māori Pathways programme.
We're currently looking for includes people who can:
- apply or be willing to learn how to apply a te ao Māori lens in your practice and approach
- build meaningful and genuine relationships with tāne and their whānau
- understand the importance of our Values, and socialise and advocate the Māori Pathways approach in your role
- support the development of Whānau Manaaki Plans that are tāne and whānau centred
- lead out on culturally responsive ways of working with tāne and their whānau
- identify opportunities to enhance whānau and whakapapa connections
We know that there are many people around the motu who have the skills and experience and are passionate about this kaupapa. Nau mai, haere mai.
