We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated, passionate, and inquiring Policy Analyst to join our Older Peoples Policy team at the Ministry of Social Development (MSD). As one in five New Zealanders will be over the age of 65 by 2034, our team is focused on addressing critical social policy issues related to this growing population group.

This includes developing policy recommendations on the eligibility criteria and design of New Zealand Superannuation, leading strategic policy advice to ensure that social supports and services across Government provide equitable opportunities to older people now and in the future, and engaging with communities and stakeholders to ensure that their perspectives are included in policy development.

- Our practice is guided by a foundation of shared cultural behaviours which has embedded a positive and supportive working environment
- We have a new strategic direction - Te Pae Tawhiti - that sets out a strong vision and purpose for MSD
