About Us
Guided by a dedicated team of Poumahi, we embody and uphold the values of manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, pono me te tika, and mana motuhake in all that we do.
Te Taumata is a leadership organisation established by and for Ngāti Whakaue, working across education, te reo Māori, housing development and social wellbeing.

At its heart, this role is about relationships, walking alongside whānau in a way that's grounded in kaupapa Māori, trauma informed practice, Housing First principles, and mana enhancing support.
You'll build respectful, trusted, mana enhancing relationships with manahā and whānau, as well as support our team of Key Workers, coaching and guiding them with technical support to help them in their mahi.
