Mō te tūnga - About the role
Hon Damien O'Connor MP is looking for an enthusiastic and professional Executive Support and Researcher to join his team at the Parliamentary precinct in Wellington for 30 hours per week. This is a key role supporting an MP with exceptional administrative and research support. You'll be responsible for ensuring that critical administrative functions related to the smooth running of the MP's Parliamentary life (such as diary management and travel) are actively managed, while providing the member with research and briefings on their particular areas of interest.
Working as a core part of the MP's team, you'll step into an environment that is unique, exciting, and rewarding. This position offers real variety and plays a vital role in supporting Aotearoa New Zealand's democracy.
**Tō kete - What you will bring to the role**:
You will be known for your strong attention to detail, initiative, and ability to quickly come up to speed. Your communication and relationship management skills will help you effectively share information, ideas, and experience with others. You will be comfortable working both autonomously and collaboratively.
Your research expertise means you can analyse issues with recognisable patterns and make independent decisions through considering precedents, referenced research or other solutions.
You will have previous experience in executive office administration and if you have excellent organisation and research skills, we can provide you with the support, mentorship, and training you need to succeed in this role.
**Ngā haepapa - Responsibilities**:

- Ensure the MP knows where they need to be, and when, through the organisation and coordination of their diary, and ensure they have the papers they require
- Support the development of policy and information gathering to provide research and advice to the MP and others in the team
- Ensure the smooth operation of the MP's role by providing executive administrative support (diary management, travel, and finance support)
- Coordinate administrative activities in the MP's office including those for meetings, functions, and events, including collating invitations and arranging facilities and catering.

He aha te pai o te mahi ki Te Ratonga Whare Pāremata? - Why work for Parliamentary Service?
- We offer a range of benefits including five weeks' annual leave, eye and hearing subsidies, and an annual well-being payment
- You will receive an induction from Parliamentary Service to set you up to succeed, as well as having access to ongoing learning, development, and professional networking opportunities
- We are proud of He Ao Takitaki (our Te Ao Māori strategy); we offer karakia, waiata, and reo Māori opportunities along with opportunities through other staff networks
- Our core values are at the heart of how we work: Integrity, Manaakitanga, Accountability, Whanaungatanga, and Empowerment

As an employee of Parliamentary Service, you will be politically impartial in your role. You will understand the political landscape and have a knack for taking everything in your stride. Things are changeable here so an appreciation for the environment and the ability to be calm, proactive, and flexible will stand you in good stead.
The pay band for the role starts at $70,000 per annum and appointments will be based on skills and experience. All employees who work for MPs are employed on an 'events-based' agreement, with your employment linked to your MP. This role is based at the Parliamentary precinct in Wellington, for 30 hours per week.
Applications close at 6am on Monday, 16 September 2024.
