Case managers take part in Ara Tika, a week long induction programme designed to give new staff an understanding of what Corrections does and how they play their part in reducing re-offending. You will join other new staff from around the country beginning their careers with Corrections. The programme is conducted at the National Learning Centre in Upper Hutt, Wellington.
Pou Ārahi Iho follows on from Ara Tika and provides new case managers with the opportunity to complete their learning pathway at their work sites, guided by learning and development facilitators.
You will complete structured learning activities supported by your experienced colleagues. You will also be supported by your manager and practice leaders.
Pou Ārahi Iho includes:
Principles underpinning our practice
Assessing those in our care (risk assessments)
Planning for those in our care (offender planning)
Transitioning those in our care (release planning)
Developing our practice (reflective practice)
Corrections will arrange and pay for travel, accommodation and food for any programmes that require staff to be away from home.
