Child Welfare, Youth & Family Services (Community Services & Development)Kick Back is a Youth Development movement refusing to Accept the Unacceptable in our society, and for us, Youth Homelessness is unacceptable, so we're kicking back.We believe that we can build a world where no young person or child ever has to sleep on our streets or go without a safe, loving and supportive place to call home. And that sometimes the best way to critique the current system, is by mobilizing our community and building the new.So Kick Back is innovating in the gaps, building the matauranga (knowledge) we need in order to close them.We believe that though the maunga (mountain) of ending youth homelessness may be huge, it is possible to climb. And that when we come together as a community, have the courage to dream with our eye's open, we can move mountains.We are looking for a passionate, social justice oriented, rangatahi champion who wants to be a part of Kicking Back against the system, through innovation, service and advocacy.Qualifications & experienceYouth Development Qualification, related qualification or relevant experience.Innovative Youth Development Champion and Community Builder.Trauma Informed Practice, able and willing to serve young people in the midst of traumatic and challenging situations.Kaupapa driven, dedicated to making a difference, excited to serve rangatahi and be a part of ending youth homelessness.Tasks & responsibilitiesSupporting the design, development and implementation of Kick Back's project'sSupporting Kick Back's goal of innovating to support systems changeWill support Kick Back to operationalize our projects, including The Front Door: HUB through events, activities and programs that meet the needs of young people experiencing homelessnessWill support to manage the day-to-day operations of the Hub and assist in general coordination and support for Kick Back's day to day operationsCoordinating partner agencies to provide coordinated support and access to a range of services for our young peopleTraining, managing and developing a network of volunteers who support the KaupapaAssisting the continued growth of our rangatira ropu, recruiting, mentoring, training and organizing our young leadersWill champion Youth Development and ensure young people receive a holistic, youth development focused, trauma informed serviceWill be rangatahi facing, providing, mentoring, advocacy and support to young people accessing the HUBWill ensure young people receive aroha and Manaaki while engaging with Kick Back's services and projectsYour application will include the following questions: Which of the following statements best describes your right to work in New Zealand?How many years' experience do you have as a Youth Development Worker?Do you have a current New Zealand driver's licence?Report this job advert Don't provide your bank or credit card details when applying for jobs.#J-18808-Ljbffr
