You will also offer:

  • Experience working within the education sector and/or other government funding settings
  • Strong communication skills
  • Great analytical skills to support effective planning and decisionmaking
  • An understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its implications for the work of the Ministry of Education especially in matters relating to Māori development and the partnership values that flow from the Treaty


Ideally you will have the ability to speak te reo Māori, and demonstrated competence in working with Māori whānau, hapū, iwi and/or Pacific communities.

We offer an environment where every day is different and challenging. Our wide-ranging work programme will give you opportunities to build your experience in the delivery of critical operational funding.

Mātau rōpū ake | About our ministry, group, and team


At Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, we work to provide services and support nationally, regionally and locally to the education sector, and in some cases, directly to ākonga and whanau.

To better deliver on this, we are undergoing an organisational design change. The transition phase to improve the way we deliver our purpose will be complete in 2023.


Te Pae Aronui was established within Te Mahau to provide the education sector with support and services that are more locally responsive, more accessible, and integrated.

It is the place where everything Te Tāhuhu does for ākonga can come together.

We gather insights, regulate, have service design and delivery functions, understand ākonga, whānau, communities and businesses - and use that to shape and influence the direction of education in Aotearoa New Zealand.


As part of Te Mahau, we work with whānau, hāpu, iwi, early learning services and schools / kura, to support ākonga and kaiako to create interactions in the magic space where learning happens.


We have a critical role to support a proactive and future-focused Te Tāhuhu that delivers on equity and excellence for all ākonga.

By 2025, we aspire to transform Te Pae Aronui so that:

people are thriving, connections are strong, the system is sound and we are producing equitable outcomes for ākonga and whānau.
