We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and energetic Senior Advisor who is keen to join our team.

**Te Puni Kōkiri | Ministry of Māori Development**

Te Puni Kōkiri, the Ministry of Māori Development, supports and works in partnership with the Government to design and deliver policies, as well as innovative targeted investment initiatives that have a significant and positive impact on Māori.

Our commitment to 'Whānau Taurikura' - 'Thriving Whānau' enables whānau, hapū and iwi to succeed underpins everything that we do.

Our people are at the heart of achieving this vision and it is our people who contribute to supporting Māori collective success by creating and maintaining relationships with iwi, hapū and whānau Māori and government at both a local and national level. It is this that enables Māori participation and success as Māori, and it is our people who will create our best future.

**Te Whiwhinga Mahi | The opportunity**

The Senior Advisor is responsible for assisting whānau, hapū, iwi, Māori organisations and Māori communities to develop and implement initiatives that will enable them to achieve long-term economic and social development.

Te Puni Kōkiri wants whānau to thrive.

When they are self-managing and economically secure, living in safe, warm houses and are responsible stewards for our natural environment, they will thrive. When whānau are thriving, so do their communities, hapū, iwi and all of Aotearoa New Zealand.
