  • Competitive Salary
  • Satisfying career development
  • Flexible Work Arrangements
  • Professional memberships and continued education support
  • Great lifestyle including a vibrant arts and cultural scene, fantastic outdoor recreational opportunities with the mountains, national parks, river and sea all within easy reach

The City is known for being welcoming, strong in schools and has the range of arts and culture one would expect of a modern New Zealand city.
