He korero mo maatou - About Us
Ōtorohanga District Council is on an exciting journey of innovation and investment to strengthen our vibrant District.

With that, we are embracing a period of growth and development that ensures we have prosperous and thriving communities that residents can continue to be proud of.

We are an organisation with passionate people who are committed to delivering exceptional services to our community. It's a very exciting time to join us

He aha tāu e mahi ai? - What will you be doing?


We've spent the past few years realigning the Organisation to make sure we have the capability and capacity to lead investment and innovation in our District and respond to challenges and opportunities in the future.


This has been a cool piece of work for our previous People & Capability Advisor, Kylie, with existing positions being reviewed and rescoped, and new positions being created.

But it's now time for her to move on, and an experienced HR generalist to take the reins of the next phase.

This really is a role with everything

As the People & Capability Advisor you will report directly to Tanya, the Chief Executive.

You will also have regular engagement with the Leadership team to offer advice, guidance and support on all things 'people'.

You will work alongside Tanya, shaping our strategic HR direction one day, and get busy with operational implementation the next so there's plenty of variety to keep you interested.

This is a busy and rewarding role that will have you:

  • Building relationships at all levels, right across the organisation
  • Covering the breadth of disciplines within People & Capability, including OD, change management, talent attraction & retention, L&D, and ER / IR
  • Initiating and implementing a wide range of people initiatives
  • Leading and supporting an exceptional People & Capability Administrator
  • Networking with an incredible group of HR leaders across the Waikato Councils

He aha tāu e wehe atu ai i era atu? - What will set you apart from the rest?


This is an amazing opportunity for an experienced HR Advisor who is ready to step up and gain experience and develop into a strategic leadership role.

As well as being a self-starter who enjoys a challenge and working as part of a team in a high performing culture, you will have:

  • A commitment to continuous learning and development, so you're always across best practice and emerging trends in employment law and 'people' practices
  • The ability to think creatively and strategically about what could be possible, and then operationalise it into what is possible
  • The nous to know when to push an agenda and when to sit back and listen to alternative perspectives
  • A pragmatic approach to solving complex people problems
  • A knack for bringing people on the change journey

He aha nga hua kia puta ai tenei job? - What's great about working for us?


In return for your skills, enthusiasm and passion, we can offer you competitive remuneration and flexible working as well as a relaxed, fun work environment with easy parking Not to mention that Ōtorohanga is located centrally and close to both the mountains and the sea.

If you want to further your career working for an organisation where you will be well supported and recognised for your great work, then this role is for you.

Applications will be considered as they are received.
