**Te whiwhinga mahi/The Opportunity**
Do you want to help solve complex policy problems with real life impact on New Zealanders' ability to access efficient and effective courts and justice services in Aotearoa?
Our aim is to build a 21st century, people-centred justice system and Ministry of Justice. We are working towards a justice system that will make communities safer, maintain integrity and improve responsiveness, and maintain the civil and democratic rights of all New Zealanders.
**Te āhuatunga a te tūranga**/About the roles**
We are looking for policy advisors with some experience to join the Ministry of Justice's Policy Group. The roles are available are in various Policy Group teams, including the Access to Justice, Victims and Youth Justice, Court Stewardship and Civil Law Teams.

This work includes providing advice on support for people who cannot afford to pay for legal advice, our tribunals system and regulation of the legal profession.
- The **Criminal Justice Unit **provides oversight of the criminal justice system through stewardship of key legislation and leadership on critical domestic and international criminal justice issues.
- The** Courts Stewardship Team** was set up in 2022 to develop a best practice approach to regulatory stewardship in the courts and tribunals systems, with an eye to what will also work across the Ministry's other regulatory systems. The team plays a role in capacity building to grow the Ministry's stewardship capability, connecting with the inter-agency regulatory stewardship community, and running cyclical Regulatory Systems Amendment Bill processes.
- The **Civil Law Team** focuses on relationships between people rather than between the state and its citizens and has a significant impact on people's lives. The team is responsible for a broad range of civil law systems, including property law, contract, trust law, wills and succession of estates and the regulation of some occupations and industries. It administers the Privacy Act 2020 and is also responsible for the Ministry's cross-agency contribution to the development and use of AI.
