Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Christchurch City Council Full time

When you join the Christchurch City Council you'll be getting involved first hand and working to shape the future of this city, our communities and the environment.

As well as working with awesome people within the organisation, you'll find many opportunities to develop and progress your career with us.

Christchurch City Council, where it's possible to love what you do.

Our Council is working to build its internal capability in te ao Māori.

We are doing this in a range of ways, including by strengthening the capacity, capability and confidence of our staff.

Our Strategic Policy team is recruiting a Senior Policy Advisor in Tiriti Partnerships.

This is a unique opportunity to join a specialist team which helps the Council prepare for the future, supporting its strategic direction-setting work and its response to the wide-ranging Government reform programme currently rolling out.


You will provide key analysis and advice on the potential impacts of policy proposals on mana whenua or other Māori, working closely with our Treaty Partnerships team.

Your advice on Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations, Treaty settlements and governance considerations will be critical in ensuring the Strategic Policy Team can present well-informed advice that respects the principles of the Tiriti and reflects the views of all of our community, including mana whenua.

You will assist our engagement and collaboration with Ngāi Tahu and Māori, in conjunction with our Tiriti Partnerships team.


Reporting to, and working closely with the Team Leader Policy, you will lead and contribute to the continued review, revision and development of the Councils policy and strategies to ensure these align with Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Council responsibilities under the Local Government Act 2002 and other legislation.


Drawing on your knowledge and understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Te Reo Māori, you will be able to combine your technical expertise with your ability to form strong relationships, and encourage collaboration between different groups and organisations, both within and external to Council.


In addition to the above, you will hold a degree in a relevant discipline, and have significant experience in positions related to strategic planning and policy development associated with iwi relationships.
