Position Description
If you have a passion to be at the cutting edge of local decision making and are looking for an amazing opportunity to make an impact in the Rotorua community, this role is for you
We are on search for a leader to drive the Rotorua Lakes Council Governance and Democracy team, providing a high degree of expert knowledge and dedication to supporting elected member decision making. This will include guidance and advice in the administration of council and committee meetings, official information requests, and local elections.
If you enjoy working in a fast paced environment where no two days are the same, are interested in the political process and can think on your feet, this could be the job for you.
As our ideal applicant, you will:
- be super organised and a flexible juggler
- display a high degree of empathy and political nous
- be an excellent communicator
- thrive working in a fast-pace environment
- be calm under pressure
- handle sensitive information
- champion team development and learning
- aspire to be a customer focussed centre of excellence for quality governance and democracy advice and support.
If you want a challenging, varied and highly visible role, have a passion for democracy and transparent governance this could be the career for you.
Your career has seen you work in fast paced and complex environments and dealing with people and processes is not new to you. As someone who loves implementing new process and making things run more smoothly, the idea of creating new practices is appealing. You have experience with technical writing, such as creating reports and drafting recommendations.
The position is 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday; however due to the nature of the work, flexibility is a must. This means some evening and weekend work will be required but we have a flexible work policy for hours and location so you can maintain the desired work/life balance.
Te Kaunihera o nga Roto o Rotorua (Rotorua Lakes Council) is committed to biculturalism and working in partnership with Te Arawa, our local iwi. We value staff who have an openness and appreciation of Maori values, te reo and tikanga Maori.
