Your personal qualities will include taking pride in written work and other forms of communication of the highest quality every time and have a proven ability to get the job done.

In this role you will be expected to have the kind of interpersonal savviness that means you will relate well with all kinds of people.

You will demonstrate knowledge of, or a willingness to gain an understanding of Te Ao Māori and promote tikanga and Te Reo Māori.

You will also have knowledge of, or a willingness to gain an appreciation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi) as it applies in the public sector.

  • Influence others to bring alignment to work programmes
  • Have strong writing and communication skills and the ability to lead the resolution of complex issues, identifying risks and solutions to protect and enhance the integrity and reputation of the Ministry.
  • Develop and use data and insights to make evidencebased decisions and recommendations on strategic issues.
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 currently undergoing an organisational design change. The transition phase to improve the way we deliver our purpose will be complete in 2023.
