- We work to _**_shape_**_ an _**_education_**_ system that delivers _**_equitable_**_ and _**_excellent outcomes_**

At Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga | Ministry of Education, we work to provide services and support nationally, regionally and locally to the education sector, and in some cases, directly to ākonga and whānau.

We help shape the policies, settings and performance of the education system for early learning, schooling and tertiary. We do this by building relationships and understanding the needs of those who receive our services.

**We are making significant changes to how we deliver our mahi by**
- Taking practical action to give effect to te Tiriti o Waitangi.
- Giving priority to regional and local voice.
- Delivering greater responsiveness, accessibility and integrated services and support.
- Improving feedback loops and information flows.

Our organisation is made up of talented and committed people across Aotearoa from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. While we work in different groups and on different things, we all strive every day to make the biggest difference we can for every child, young person and adult student in our education system.

**About our group and team**

Te Puna Ohumahi Mātauranga | Education Workforce leads the sector workforce employment relations, the relationship with Education Payroll Limited and we hold the responsibility for bargaining. We support the organisation so that the key role of the education sector workforce is integrated into their work programmes and services. Our group ensures the system has the right people in the right places at the right time for early learning, kōhanga reo, schools and kura.

The Claims Implementation team sits within Te Puna Ohumahi Mātauranga | Education Workforce and is a key connector between the education sector and the Ministry. Our role is to work with the sector and with key stakeholders to develop approaches to implementation across the workforce. Our team supports the sector to understand and implement changes to employment settings.

**Mō tēnei tūranga | About this role**

We are looking for an education sector guru, someone who has either extensive experience working in the sector or who has strong relationships within the sector. We are looking for someone who can clearly articulate the Ministry's views, mahi and values while carefully considering the interests and perspectives of the sector and other stakeholders.

**Mōhou ake | About you**

As a Lead Advisor, you'll be responsible for providing advice and support to the wider Education Workforce group. Programmes of work that you'd be involved in include the implementation of pay equity claims, collective bargaining outcomes and other people-related initiatives which impact the sector. As Lead Advisor, you will have a voice for, and hold a key relationship with the sector itself.

This is a varied and dynamic role, but some of the key things that might help you succeed are:

- Knowledge of, and experience in the education sector
- Experience working with lots of different internal and external stakeholders in a public sector and/or unionised environment
- Skills in a relevant work area which could include HR, ER, project management, policy analysis, or payroll management
- Knowledge of public sector labour market issues and machinery of government
- Experience in researching, developing and implementing strategies
- Natural curiosity and ability to connect the dots between different complex situations

If you'd like to bring your skills to a challenging but rewarding role within an organisation that's continuously reaching goals and striving for a better future for New Zealand, we'd love to hear from you.

**Kua rite koe mō tēnei mahi? | Are you ready to make a difference?**

We provide flexible working environments where everyone feels relevant, valued and supported. So, if working from home and/or having a flexible start and finish to the day will help with this, we can usually make it happen. We'd love to hear what this might look like for you, so feel free to outline this in your Cover Letter.

In your cover letter we'd like to know:

- about you, your values, your whakapapa
- your interest and motivations for this role
- the abilities, strengths, personal attributes and diverse perspectives you will bring to the role and this organisation.
- The Ministry encourages all employees to be fully vaccinated although currently this is a voluntary requirement. There is no requirement to show evidence of your vaccine status as this role is not covered by the Public Health (Vaccinations) Order._
