Assistant Conservator

4 months ago

Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Full time
Te Papa's mission is to understand the past, enrich the present and meet the challenges of the future.

Te Papa is the national museum housing New Zealand's treasures-a meeting place, a place for lifelong learning, and a place that inspires a sense of wonder and connection.


Te Papa's three values Whanaungatanga (Teamwork), Manaakitanga (Respect) and Auahatanga (Creativity) are at the centre of how Te Papa works.

Working actively in the cultural sector and in partnership with iwi, Te Papa connects people, taonga and stories. Te Papa is a dynamic organisation to work for, with bold aspirations for the future.


Biculturalism is a founding philosophy and practice of Te Papa designed to explore the contribution of Māori language and culture to the life, culture and activities of the museum in small and large ways.

Te Papa fosters and nurtures cross-cultural capability, the ability of people of different cultural backgrounds to interact with one another in positive and uplifting ways.

  • Work collaboratively to develop best practice guidelines for the documentation, storage and display of physical, audiovisual and digital content held in the TBMA collection in consultation with the relevant staff from across Te Papa, external agencies, and with artists where appropriate

To be successful in the role, you'll bring:

  • A tertiary qualification in conservation, museum studies, library science, information management, or technical production
  • Good working knowledge of museum collections and practice, particularly digital preservation and information management
  • Recent experience working with a museum collection management database and/or digital asset management system.
  • Proven methodical work habits and experience maintaining highly accurate documentation in an efficient manner with attention to detail and accuracy
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively as part of a team
  • Excellent planning, prioritisation, and timemanagement skills
  • Awareness of cultural practices and tikanga applicable in a museum or gallery environment, along with the ability and willingness to learn and practice Te reo Māori and cultural practices


This role is fixed term and full time (40 hours) and all applicants must have the legal right to work in New Zealand.
