Ko wai mātou | About Us:
Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People has a unique mandate of having responsibility to steward change across Government, while commissioning disability support services, as well as transforming how these services are delivered.
Disabled people expected to have greater choice and control over the supports and services they receive to lead their best life. We are committed to this by strengthening relationships and working in partnership with disabled people, tāngata whaikaha Māori, Pacific disabled people and their whānau.
Whaikaha presents an exciting opportunity to make a real difference. The call for “Nothing about us, without us” is an integral part of our operation.
Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About the Role:
The Forensic Coordination Service – Intellectual Disability coordinates the safe management of tāngata whaikaha and provides a pathway for offenders with an intellectual disability away from the criminal justice and mental health systems towards more appropriate disability services.
As a Care Coordinator you will conduct assessments and re-assessments alongside tāngata whaikaha and their whānau, ensuring all needs are identified and assessed including, ethnicity, disability, sexuality, gender and age.
You will ensure tāngata whaikaha know their rights and the process of requesting a review and support them and their whānau to hold meaningful expectations and aspirations for their lives.
You will identify all funded and non-funded services and support options for tāngata whaikaha and coordinate a package of care, in consultation with tāngata whaikaha and whānau as appropriate, ensuring it is based on their assessed and prioritised needs and consistent with the Court approved Care and Rehabilitation Plan.
This role is a fixed term role ending 5 September 2025 and is based in Auckland.

Your experience using facilitation and problem solving strategies will see you working collaboratively with others both internally and externally. A specialist knowledge and understanding of service coordination would be an advantage but not essential.
