Aroturuki Tamariki, the Independent Children's Monitor, monitors the Oranga Tamariki system, providing insights that drive continuous improvement and improves outcomes for tamariki (children) and rangatahi (young people), particularly tamariki Māori and children with disabilities.

Our monitors are the public face of Aroturuki Tamariki.  They work in teams, engaging with the community to understand and record the experience of whānau, tamariki and rangatahi, family, professionals, caregivers and others who work with those involved in the care and protection and/or youth justice pathways. What we hear is analysed alongside data we gather. From this we develop insights that we share back with the communities we visit, and publish in our nationwide reports.

We are looking for people with:

• a social work qualification and who have worked in statutory social work 
  

• a deep understanding of child protection and youth justice practice, as well as understanding the Oranga Tamariki system
  

• can bring a risk lens to support the mahi (work) we do
  

• proven ability to build meaningful connections with a wide range of people and organisations
  
  

• able to engage with tamariki and rangatahi and their whānau
  
  

• facilitation skills  
  

• strong writing skills and the ability to draft reports and other professional documents
