Youth Worker, Epuni Care and Protection Residence

Epuni Residence is one of four Care and Protection Residences in New Zealand managed by Child Youth and Family. Our residence operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week providing both care and protection and programmes for children and young people aged 8 to 16 years.  We are dedicated to improving outcomes for children and young people in our care and supporting them to realise their potential.

We have recently launched a new Service Model that is aimed at making us a world leading service.

Working in a residential environment is both challenging and rewarding. We're looking for a person who is committed to working with children and young people to help them realise their talents, who has knowledge or experience in the care of at-risk youth or a relevant field, for example, education, health or social services. 

If you are a positive role model for others and if you want to be part of a team that is passionate about positively changing the course or pathway a young person is travelling on, we want to hear from you.

Child, Youth and Family, a service of the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), recognises and has a commitment to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
