Mō mātou | About us
Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children has a commitment to putting tamariki and rangatahi at the heart of what we do. In our work, we aim to demonstrate these values:

- We put Tamariki first
- We believe Aroha is vital
- We respect the Mana of people
- We are Tika and Pono
- We value Whakapapa
- We recognise that Oranga is a journey

We are committed to ensuring that New Zealand is the best place in the world to be a child. We are also committed to ensuring Oranga Tamariki partners with hapū, iwi and Māori organisations to find appropriate solutions for tamariki in need.

About the role | Mō te tūnga
Be part of building a vibrant, skilled, and supportive Ministerial Support team.
Opportunities for experienced Senior Advisors have arisen within our dedicated Ministerial Support team. This team provides services to the whole organisation with the aim of ensuring consistency and effectiveness of official correspondence and reporting across the business. In a typical day the team answers Parliamentary/Select Committee questions, and works on Official Information Act requests and Chief Executive's correspondence. We are looking to rebuild the team as experts in these key areas and therefore we are looking for experienced senior advisors who enjoy supporting, mentoring, and coaching other team members.

What you will bring | Ngā pūmanawatanga ōu
You will thrive on having a busy day and working across the organisation.
You will be an energetic high performer with the ability to work well under pressure, and to tight timeframes when needed while maintaining a consistent high level of written and verbal communication skills, including ability to write documents that are clear and succinct.
Experience in Ministerial Services, particularly leading or writing Ministerial Correspondence, Parliamentary Questions, Select Committee responses, or Offical Information Act responses is essential.
Responsiveness to te ao Māori, tikanga Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi will be at the front of mind in all your work as will an understanding and appreciation of cross-cultural issues and concerns including Pacific peoples' culture.
