This is a full-time position working 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 5.00pm, based in Manukau working across South Auckland. Elements of the role may require travel.
This role will involve working within the Housing First service. The wrap-around community housing-based service will have a strong focus on transition, recovery and wellness that empowers tāngata whai ora and whānau to build the capacity to live well.

You'll work within a Housing First philosophy, and have the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge and expertise in the area of housing and homelessness.
You will be part of an exciting service that is innovating and growing, where new ideas are encouraged and new solutions are the norm!
