Mana Mokopuna - Children and Young People's Commission is an independent advocate for all 1.2 million mokopuna aged under 18 in Aotearoa. We also advocate for care-experienced mokopuna aged up to 25.

Our name, Mana Mokopuna, describes who we are and what we stand for. At its heart, Mana Mokopuna recognises the many elements that will support mokopuna to thrive. It focuses on mokopuna in the context of their family, whānau, hapū, iwi and wider community. It also recognises that their participation in decisions that affect them is vitally important.

Te moemoeā: kia kuru pounamu te rongo; our vision that all children and young people of Aotearoa live their best lives. For us, child wellbeing is whānau wellbeing.

We recognise that an important part of achieving our moemoeā is advocating for a society in which Te Tiriti o Waitangi is fully realised. Our tari strives to centre mātauranga Māori and our Te Tiriti obligations at the heart of all we do.

Mō te tūnga | About the role

The HR Advisor role contributes to the smooth functioning of human resources operations within Mana Mokopuna. A key focus for this role will be to work with the HR Manager to support the organisation to navigate through any upcoming change linked to the recently announced review of the organisation's legislation.

Working alongside the HR Manager, you will also be responsible for day-to-day HR activities as well as supporting special HR projects. Other key responsibilities include:

  • Support recruitment processes such as drafting and posting jobs, shortlisting candidates, scheduling interviews; creating interview packs; drafting letters and communications.
  • Assist in the review and implementation of HR policies and procedures.
  • Maintain accurate employee records and handle confidential information in compliance with privacy laws and guidelines.

You can find a full position description for the roleon our website .

This is a great opportunity for someone with at least 2-3 years of generalist HR experience, who enjoys supporting all areas of the HR function and can work autonomously.

Ideally, you'll have a qualification in HR or related discipline and/or equivalent relevant experience in an HR related role. You'll have the ability to provide credible and robust advice and be seen as a trusted advisor to the organisation.

The ideal candidate should demonstrate:

  • Knowledge of HR processes and compliance requirements
  • Experience in leading the implementation of HR initiatives (the ability to integrate and apply Mātauranga Māori in HR practices is highly valued)
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build strong relationships across diverse teams
  • Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail, ensuring accurate and timely completion of activities
  • Ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with the utmost discretion
  • Knowledge, understanding and application of Te Reo Māori, Tikanga and te Tiriti o Waitangi or demonstrate a high level of willingness to work in this context

If you're a conscientious individual who wants to work in an organisation that is passionate about advocating for mokopuna, then we want to hear from you

This Te Whanganui-a-Tara - based fixed term position is available through to the end of June 2025. We welcome a potential secondment from another agency.

  • A salary between $86,186 min - $95,321 mid - $104,453 max gross per annum (dependent on experience)
