**About us**
The Education Review Office (ERO) works for the benefit of New Zealand's young children and students.

Within ERO, Te Ihuwaka | The Education Evaluation Centre works on a wide variety of topical and timely projects to evaluate the performance of the education system, the effectiveness of programmes, and to identify and share best practice. Te Ihuwaka is uniquely positioned to provide the independent and objective advice which is highly valued by decision makers and stakeholders.

When you work at Te Ihuwaka, you will contribute to work that has real impacts on education outcomes in New Zealand. Over the past 12 months Te Ihuwaka has evaluated a wide range of issues including school attendance, the quality of education provision for learners with disabilities, and the experiences of ethnically diverse learners in our schools. Many of these reports have impacted policy and driven real change.

You will have experience delivering on multi-method complex evaluations and ideally, you'll have a background in social sector research/evaluation.

Te Ihuwaka has a strong focus on career development - so whether you are currently a Principal or an experienced Senior ready to take a step up, we'd love to hear from you. This is your chance to help shape Te Ihuwaka’s role in this space, contribute to building the evidence base for education, and to see your work have a real impact on education outcomes.
