**Mō mātou - About us**

The Office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu is a dynamic organisation that exists to ensure that the benefits of the Settlement are enjoyed by Ngāi Tahu Whānui now and for future generations _"Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei" (for us and our children after us)._

We pride ourselves on being a values-led organisation, investing in the professional and cultural development of our kaimahi (employees). You will have a unique opportunity to strengthen your understanding of te reo Māori and tikanga.

We offer a supportive, dynamic and excellence driven workplace where we embrace diversity and inclusion. As a flexible employer we are happy to discuss options that may work for you and the business to support a work-life balance and the needs of your whānau.

We would also consider secondments, part time working arrangements and employees being based at locations outside of Christchurch.

Some additional benefits at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu include te reo language and kapa haka tutorials, medical and life insurance, on-site parking, and if required, relocation assistance.
