As a caregiver, you will need:
No experience is needed but previous experience working with tamariki and rangatahi is an advantage.
We have different foster care programmes in the Waikato:
In our specialised caregiver programme you will support a rangatahi for approximately 12 months.
In our foster care service we provide short, medium and long-term care depending on the young person's needs.
Our team will support you and meet with you weekly while you have a young person living with you.
Training and meetings will often occur during the day/week, so some flexibility to be available to attend is essential.
We need caregivers who are able to provide stable and consistent support for our tamariki and rangatahi, so ideally, we are looking for someone who is willing to commit to an ongoing caregiver role.
