- We are proud of our He Ao Takitaki and Diversity and Inclusion strategies; we offer karakia, waiata, reo Māori opportunities and staff networks.
- We offer a range of benefits including 5 weeks annual leave, Eye and Hearing subsidies and a well-being payment.

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 (in this case, the Leader of the Opposition). This role is based in the Parliamentary Precinct for 40 hours per week.

Applications close Tuesday 5th March 2024 at 5.00pm.
