FOSTER PARENTS URGENTLY NEEDED... !!

Andrea from Titahi Bay

Kia ora.

Our agency is looking for committed and compassionate foster parents who might care for a young adolescent in their own home full time, or on regular weekends to provide respite for full time foster parents.

This is a salaried role and well supported with social work and after hours back up. At times it is not an easy vocation and you will need to know yourself and your triggers very well.

Our young people have had traumatic histories and this means they bring behaviours that reflect that trauma. They also show themselves to be resilient, strong, capable, funny, engaging and deserving of quality care. A full police and Oranga Tamariki clearance will be required for any foster parent.

If you are curious to know more, please contact Adam Bain, abain@wesleyca.org.nz 021734960.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
