Kahu Taurima - Navigator
  
Turuki Health Care is a kaupapa Māori organisation delivering integrated health, wellbeing and social services across the Tāmaki Makaurau region. We provide quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare and support to whānau.
  
Te whiwhinga mahi - The Opportunity
  
We’re looking for a Kahu Taurima Navigator to join our South Auckland team. This role offers a unique opportunity to walk alongside māmā, pēpi and their whānau, providing non-clinical, wraparound support in their homes and over the phone.
  
You’ll help whānau navigate services across health, education, social and wellbeing sectors — complementing care plans already in place with LMCs, GPs and others involved in whānau care. Your mahi will support whānau throughout their journey, including those transitioning out of Ngā Hau care (6 weeks postnatal and beyond).

• A good understanding of how to work across health and social agencies
• A commitment to whānau-centred approaches, grounded in Te Ao Māori and Kaupapa Māori values
• Confidence in engaging with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds
• Strong skills in communication, planning, and working as part of a team
