About the City Mission The Christchurch City Mission, Te Whare Mhana Ki tautahi is a social services agency offering support for those who need it, regardless of their circumstances. We offer assistance to those who are marginalised through social and economic factors and who are at risk through unemployment, inadequate housing, family breakdown, addiction, financial difficulties or mismanagement, abuse or other difficulty. We work in preventative ways and in response to crisis with education and training, addiction support and counselling.

Through our work in the community, we empower people to successfully re-integrate into society with renewed self-esteem, fostering independence. About the Position As a key member of the City Mission Social Services, the Men's Emergency Accommodation Support Worker will make a vital contribution to the Mission, to our clients and to our community. The key focus of the role: We support the view that housing is a human right, and we demonstrate that commitment every day.

Most importantly, we never give up. We believe everyone must have a home to live in and the right to live their best life. Our accommodation services for homeless men and women are a vital piece of this picture, linking those who need it with a range of relevant services.

Demand for our services is growing due to the challenges Aotearoa New Zealand is facing. An exciting part of our response was the development of our new 15-bed transitional housing facility which fills a missing and important intermediate step in moving from emergency accommodation to successful permanent housing.
