Advancing together into a brighter future
Ko wai mātou | About us

And we’re paddling our own waka forward in leading significant change in enhancing the mana, wellbeing and prosperity of Ngāti Toa and the communities in which we thrive.
Ko te tīmā | About the team
You will join a team dedicated to the care and protection of rangatahi temporarily placed in our care whare, till such a time that they can return to whanau or another approved long-term carer. We assist them in their everyday life with a strength-based approach and teach life skills to develop their independence. You must be able to play and laugh with others and at yourself.
