Social Services Information Roadshow

Find out about the world of social services! Staff will present on “All About Working in Social Services” and there will be talks on careers in social work, mental health, addictions support, counselling, youth work and community development.

Careers in social work and mental health and addictions support are challenging but can be very rewarding. Staff in these fields work with some of New Zealand’s most vulnerable people and can make a huge difference to their lives.

There are many career opportunities both here in Te Tai Tokerau and across the rest of New Zealand, in fact there is a shortage of workers in the sector, and well qualified people with the right skills and attributes are always sought after.

The work is varied and interesting, and as it involves working with people you will never be replaced by a machine – it’s a secure career to go into and the sector has also experienced significant wage rises.

Anyone who is interested in a career in this field is welcome to come to our roadshow and we will give them all the information to make a decision about studying, and answer any questions.
