Social services play a vital role in supporting individuals and whānau through life’s challenges, promoting wellbeing, and fostering stronger, more resilient communities.
At every stage of life, people may need access to support—whether it’s navigating hardship, improving mental health, or building safer, more stable living environments. Skilled social service professionals help people build the tools, confidence, and connections they need to thrive.
Toitū te Waiora is working to understand the current workforce needs of the social services sector, so we can support the development of a skilled, diverse, and future-focused workforce ready to meet the needs of communities across the country.
