Pou Ārahi Taiohi
Are you passionate about helping rangatahi recognise their strengths, overcome barriers and create positive pathways for their future?
Rangitāne o Wairarapa is looking for a Pou Ārahi Taiohi to join our Te Māpu Ārahi Taiohi Ohu in Masterton.
This is a hands on role working one-to-one with rangatahi and their whānau. You’ll build trusted relationships, walk alongside rangatahi through challenges, connect them with the right support and opportunities, and help them take positive steps towards their goals.
A key focus of this role is supporting wāhine taiohi. We are looking for someone who has the ability to connect meaningfully with young wāhine, build trust, create safe and mana-enhancing relationships, and support them through what can sometimes be complex and sensitive situations.
We’re looking for someone who can relate to rangatahi, build trust and get alongside whānau. You might come from youth work, social services, education, hauora or community development, or you may have gained your skills through practical experience working with rangatahi and whānau.
You’ll bring:
• A genuine passion for rangatahi and whānau
• The ability to build strong, mana enhancing relationships, particularly with wāhine taiohi
• Great communication and people skills
• A practical, strengths based approach
• Sound judgement, reliability and professional boundaries
• An understanding of, or willingness to grow within, te ao Māori and tikanga Māori
• A full NZ Driver Licence
A formal qualification is welcomed, but relevant experience matters too.
If you want mahi where relationships matter, where no two days are quite the same, and where you can genuinely contribute to better outcomes for rangatahi and their whānau, we want to hear from you.
To apply – send you completed application form, cover letter and CV to [email protected] no later then, 5pm, Monday, 07 September 2026
