- A high level of comfort working with Whanau, Hapu and Iwi
- Have an understanding and appreciation of cultural issues and concerns in particular Tikanga Maori

**Ko wai mātou/**Who we are**

At Te Tāhū o te Ture - the Ministry of Justice, we're committed to working together for a fair and safe Aotearoa.

The Central Regional Kaiarahi team consists of 13 Kaiarahi, based from Manukau to Taupo and all those in-between. This position is based within the Hamilton District Court team of three other Kaiarahi, where you will have a close relationship with the Central Kaiarahi team and the wider National Kaiārahi team - teamwork and communication is a vital part of our team. The team work incredibly closely as a unit in our communities - being a bridge between them and our Judicial System.
