Kia ora e te whānau 👋

A big mihi to our Employment Placement Services (EPS) Cohort 07 rōpū, who recently completed First Aid training with tutor Jesse 🩹

Knowing how to respond when someone needs help is a skill you carry into every workplace, every home and every whānau. It's also one of the practical steps our EPS participants are taking towards mahi.

Over 10 weeks, EPS supports participants with:
✅ Practical training like First Aid
✅ Individual employment planning
✅ Building confidence and work readiness
✅ Connections with local employers
✅ Work seminars and pathways with MSD Kaikohe and surrounding offices

Nationally, almost 1 in 5 people who are out of work have been looking for more than a year. EPS is about taking real, practical steps together, so our people don't face that alone.

Whare mahana, whare maroke | A warm, dry home 🏡

Our whare is where whānau hauora begins. A warm, dry home helps keep our pēpi (infants), tamariki (children) and our karani (elderly) well through the colder months.

Try using these kupu at home this week: "Kia mahana te whare" (keep the house warm) as you close the curtains at night.

If your whānau needs support to get or keep a healthy home, our Ratonga Whakamāhorahora team is here to help.

Kai oranga | Nourishing food 🥘

Kai oranga is food that nourishes our tinana (body) and brings whānau together around the table. That's exactly what's happening at our Kai Oranga cooking classes in Kaikohe, where whānau are learning to turn what's already in the pantry into healthy, affordable meals.

Kaiārahi – Employment Placement Services
📍 Kaikohe | Full time |

Help whānau find their way into meaningful mahi.

Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi is looking for a Kaiārahi to join our Employment Placement Services (EPS) team. No two people need the same support. For one person the barrier is transport. For another it's confidence, training or finding the right employer. We're looking for someone who can support each participant and work out what will move their pathway forward.

The mahi:
▪️ Working one-on-one with participants to understand their goals, strengths and barriers
▪️ Building employment pathways with each person, covering work readiness, CVs, interview preparation and training
▪️ Connecting participants with local employers, training providers and the wider services of Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi
▪️ Finding practical solutions to barriers like transport
▪️ Supporting people after placement so their mahi lasts
▪️ Keeping accurate records and reporting on outcomes

What you'll bring:
▪️ Experience in employment, recruitment, case management or community support
▪️ Strong relationships with, or a willingness to build them with, employers across Te Tai Tokerau
▪️ Empathy, patience and a whānau-centred approach
▪️ Commitment to kaupapa Māori practice

Why join us?
You'll be part of a team working to strengthen local capability and build sustainable employment across Te Tai Tokerau, backed by the wider services of Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi.

September is Motorcycle Awareness Month 🏍️💛

With the weather warming up there are a lot more bikes back on our roads up here in Te Tai Tokerau.

Why it matters:
• Riders are 21 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured than someone travelling the same distance by car
• Around 50 riders and pillion passengers lose their lives on NZ roads every year
• Motorcycles make up only about 4.5% of vehicles on the road, but account for 20% of ACC's road injury claim costs

Whether you ride or you drive, we all have a part to play.

If you ride 🏍️
Give your bike and gear a proper once-over before you head out; tyres, brakes, chain, lights. Wear bright colours (yellow is the official MAM colour). And if it's been a while since you were on the road, a Ride Forever course is a solid way to sharpen up.

If you drive 🚗
Look twice at intersections, driveways and roundabouts. Bikes are smaller and easier to miss, especially in glare or rain. One extra look can be the difference.

Our roads up north are narrow, winding and often wet. Let's all take care of each other so everyone gets home to their whānau.

Kia haumaru te haere ~ travel safe out there.

Is it just getting older, or is it something more? 💭

Today is World Alzheimer's Day. Forgetting where you left the keys happens to all of us. But when our karani mā, karani pā starts repeating the same pātai, getting lost somewhere familiar, or struggling with everyday tasks they've always done, it could be a sign of mate wareware.

Noticing early matters. It gives whānau time to plan, get support and keep our karani at the centre of every decision.

Starting the kōrero can feel hard. Go gently, choose a quiet moment and lead with aroha, not worry.
