A full time position has become available working with children and adolescents at Korowai Manaaki Youth Justice Residence for 2-3 days per week and the remainder of the time working with the main CALS / RYFS team seeing young people in the community (making up a full time position).This position does not require any shift or weekend work.
 
CALS / RYFS is based in Greenlane, and company cars will be available for travel between Greenlane and the Korowai Manaaki in South Auckland, so a full clean NZ drivers licence is essential.
 
You will be required to provide comprehensive mental health assessments, formulate relevant treatment plans for children and adolescents, provide evidence based treatments, write formal reports & clinical notes to a high standard, and liaise effectively with residential staff and other agencies including health, education, CYF, and the NGO sector.
