Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children was established in 2017 to transform outcomes for at-risk tamariki and rangatahi and has an important role to play in ensuring that children and young people are in safe and secure homes, and that tamariki and rangatahi Māori are thriving under the protection of whānau, hapū, and iwi.
Since its inception in 2017, Oranga Tamariki has led the transformation of the vulnerable children’s system to put the child in the centre by investing early in tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau, delivering improved outcomes through to adulthood. The task for the next Secretary for Children will be to accelerate that transformation, with particular focus on the following areas: ensuring social work standards and practice meet the growing complexity of needs of tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau; partnering with communities, iwi, hapū, and whanau in decision-making and the delivery of care and protection services; and building an organisational culture that supports these priorities.
To achieve this, we are looking for a highly skilled leader who must be experienced and proficient in the following areas: leadership at the Māori-Crown interface; large-scale organisational leadership; leadership across the wider child welfare system; management of organisational context. This person must also have relevant sector experience. More information on these key areas can be found in the position description.
