Would you like to work at the heart of government, designing and developing New Zealand's laws?
PCO plays a critical and distinctive role in developing and designing legislation. We work closely with our colleagues across Government to deliver legislation that is fit-for-purpose, constitutionally sound, and accessible.
We are looking to grow our team of legislative drafters. As part of this team, you will work alongside experienced counsel and gain a fascinating insight into the politics, policy development, and legal design behind New Zealand's legislation.

**A legislative drafting role offers the opportunity to**:

- analyse complex legal issues

PCO is committed to supporting the Crown to be an effective Treaty partner and is currently developing its te ao Māori strategy. One component of this strategy is to grow our capacity in te reo Māori and to draft legislation in te reo Māori. There are opportunities to influence and guide PCO's response to this rapidly developing area for those fluent in te reo Māori and with knowledge of tikanga Māori.
What we offer you
This is an excellent opportunity to join a professional and highly respected organisation. PCO is a small and friendly office of around 100 people with a passion for producing great legislation.
We value our people and provide a flexible and supportive environment where each individual can thrive and be who they are. We embrace diversity, and welcome the fresh energy and perspectives that new team members bring to our work. New legislative drafters receive extensive training and coaching from experienced drafters when they join.

**In addition, PCO offers**:

- flexible working arrangements
- te reo classes
- free exercise classes and netball
- access to services within the parliamentary complex including the gymnasium, indoor swimming pool and restaurants.
