Tautoko Mai is a leader in violence prevention across Aotearoa, dedicated to fostering safe, resilient, and respectful communities. Our mission is to empower individuals and whānau to thrive, free from family and sexual violence.
We are looking for a dedicated Sexual and Family Violence Practice Lead to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled professional with a passion for family and sexual violence prevention and a drive to make a lasting impact on communities in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Sexual and Family Violence Practice Lead will act as a subject matter expert in the prevention of sexual violence, providing thought leadership and technical advice to support the development of partner organisations, and ensuring that prevention initiatives are effective, culturally safe, and trauma-informed. This role focuses on primary prevention of sexual violence and family violence, working collaboratively with the Community-Led Primary Prevention Partner Initiative team to drive systems change at the community level as part of a new initiative, Hikitia.
You will design and deliver capability-building activities, such as training and workshops, while ensuring that all prevention initiatives are Te Tiriti-led and aligned with best practices informed by mātauranga Māori. Your expertise will help build sustainable community-led initiatives that ensure the safety and well-being of tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau across Aotearoa.
Hikitia! For Our Future is more than a statement—it’s a pledge to a Te Tiriti-led primary prevention approach that redefines the systems, social conditions, and norms that enable harm, while nurturing the protective factors that ensure safety, well-being, and resilience. This name calls us to remember our shared duty to tamariki and rangatahi, ensuring that the choices we make today forge a safer, more equitable future. To truly realise this, we must be willing to work differently—centering Te Tiriti in every aspect of our mahi, empowering Tangata Whenua to manaaki and steer our efforts. In doing so, we build a future where every child can thrive, uplifting all communities across Aotearoa, for both Tangata Tiriti and Tangata Whenua.
At Tautoko Mai, we value integrity, respect, and community collaboration. We are committed to creating a supportive workplace that encourages professional growth and development. This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of sexual violence prevention and contribute to systemic change for a safe and flourishing Aotearoa.
