"Emerge Aotearoa is a warm, welcoming and Rainbow safe space.

authentic self to work every day."
Our kaupapa underpins all that we do. We believe we have a role within Aotearoa to positively contribute to people realising their potential. We do this in many ways but mostly by developing and implementing innovative and effective services that support people to live their best life.
Our services stretch the length of the country from Whangārei to Invercargill and include mental health, addiction, peer services, disability, Corrections and social housing support services.
Once you're part of the whānau, you'll have the opportunity to work anywhere in the country developing your skills. Whether you are wanting to progress down a clinical pathway, drug and alcohol, housing, management, business improvement, you name it, we're likely to have it and are committed to supporting you achieve it.
When Emerge Aotearoa launched in 2015 the first and most important piece of work we did was to work with staff to create our values. Today these values remain the foundation of all we do, they guide our decision making and our behaviours at every level.
Everybody, whether a colleague, person who uses our services, child or whānau, can teach you something. Take the chance to share stories in a relaxed situation or try a new experience. Show interest and support one another. Listen and look out for the learning opportunities.
Emerge Aotearoa, and everybody who works with us, is here to help. We support people who use our services by stopping and making time for them.
We keep in touch. We listen. We find ways to make a positive difference. We embrace whānau. We share.
We don't judge. We accept and understand. We let everyone share their view. We treat others as we would like to be treated. We embrace diversity.
Show others respect and you will receive it.
We do what we feel is right and are proud of our work and each other. We do what we say we'll do. You can trust us. Earned trust is a treasure.
