Mō mātou | About us
The Ministry for the Environment was established under the Environment Act 1986 and is the government's primary adviser on environmental matters. We are a public service agency, serving the government of the day.
Our Act requires us to think broadly as we develop our advice - to consider the intrinsic values of ecosystems, the values people place on the environment, the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, the sustainability of natural and physical resources, and the needs of future generations.
We want to see a flourishing environment for every generation. He taiao tōnui mō ngā reanga katoa.
To achieve this, we need a Ministry that is more impactful than ever - a system leader with the ability to influence in the right way, at the right time, to best effect and with the intergenerational impact firmly in our sights.
Ultimately, our aim is to transition to an economy and society that doesn't just address the environmental symptoms of our way of life, but where we all take responsibility for ensuring the environment flourishes for generations to come. We can gift future New Zealanders a healthier world.

**We offer**:

- a flexible by default approach to support your work-life balance
- agile working, allowing you variety and challenges across the organisation as we work as ‘One MfE'
- generous leave entitlements
- training to competently and effectively engage with Māori as our Treaty Partner, this includes te reo me ona tikanga Māori courses
- active social club and employee networks, including a Māori staff network
- opportunities for development and education.

A key priority for the Ministry is Te Ao Māori. This means we work with our Treaty partner to advance Māori priorities for the environment and for environmental success. We will be confident and coordinated in our ongoing engagement with Māori and lead the natural resources system in engaging for success with tangata whenua. We will grow our capability and capacity to accurately reflect Māori views in our work.
The location for this role is Wellington based and there is an option to work from home. As a flexible friendly employer, we are happy to discuss solutions
