Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

**The Organisation**

The Real Estate Authority (REA) is the independent government agency responsible for regulating New Zealand's real estate profession. Our purpose is to promote and protect the interests of consumers and promote public confidence in the performance of real estate agency work.

The REA is a high-performing and respected conduct regulator with a critical role within the real estate sector. We license real estate agents, oversee the Code of Conduct, complaints and discipline process, and foster continuous professional development.

We are committed to supporting high standards of conduct within the profession and protecting consumer interests. We strive to understand and serve the needs of New Zealand's diverse communities in all our work.

**The Role**

This role is a 12-18-month fixed term contract or a secondment, where you will be given the opportunity to expand your litigation experience and manage your own caseload of tribunal cases with the support of experienced in-house and external colleagues. You will also:

- Provide legal advice and opinions to a range of stakeholders including REA staff, senior executives, Board members, and the Complaints Assessment Committee.
- Manage litigation in relation to licensing and disciplinary processes and appear before the Tribunal.
- Ensure that the REA's activities are compliant with the Real Estate Agents Act 2008.

**About You**

You will be a New Zealand-qualified lawyer with the ability to hold a New Zealand practising certificate, and with at least 3 year's PQE in a regulatory and/or litigation role within a private practice or in-house environment. You'll have a high degree of initiative, excellent interpersonal skills and will enjoy being part of a talented, collaborative team.

**The opportunity**

The REA team is welcoming, super friendly, collaborative and committed to making a difference for New Zealand. You can expect rewarding and complex work in an exciting sector that is critical to New Zealand. A great Wellington CBD location, commitment to staff professional development and an active social club are amongst many benefits of joining the REA team
