Our role is to work with the education sector to implement these and other priorities – including through proactive, consistent supports and services from our regional teams.

The Senior Education Advisor – Early Learning role is part of our Education Advisory service that supports the education sector to implement education priorities. In relation to Early Learning, we do this through:

Salary range: $84,425 - $102,271 per annum + 3% kiwi saver. The successful candidate will be appointed at a salary which reflects individual skills and experience.

We are looking for someone who has specialist knowledge, skills and expertise in early learning and the regulatory framework that governs early learning. You will offer:

  • Experience in building relationships and influencing change to achieve outcomes.
  • An ability to use data and insights to identify trends, risks and opportunities.
  • Strong engagement and communication skills, including experience of providing high quality and timely advice – written and verbal.
  • The ability to work as part of an integrated team delivering services to the education sector. This includes working co-operatively with others to solve problems and complete tasks.
  • The ability to understand and apply the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Te Mahau | Te Tai Runga provides leadership and integrated services to the education sector and others. This includes learning support; education advice and regulation functions for schools and early learning services; and advice and support with curriculum. We also share practice and learnings collaboratively with other Te Mahau and Ministry groups to support insights driven guidance, design, and policy.

We work closely with the Early Childhood and Schooling sectors, providers, and communities to provide support, expertise, and resources to help children and young people reach their full potential.
