Our mahi is to combat the idea that Parliament is an old-fashioned place, and we are looking for an experienced educator to join us on our mission.

Increasing engagement and participation with Parliament is one of the core goals of the Parliamentary Engagement team, and we have an opportunity for a Senior Education Adviser to be part of this vision.

We've made good progress, but we still have mahi to do to connect Parliament and its important role to New Zealanders. We're committed to increasing the perception that Parliament is by the people, for the people, and we want an experienced educator who understands the principles of education to help achieve this goal.

- Lead initiatives and model behaviours that influence, motivate and enable others to contribute towards the effectiveness and success of the Education Team and where appropriate the Parliamentary Engagement team.
- Support the Education Lead and Manager, Parliamentary Engagement in the planning and oversight of project work.

- Demonstrable experience in an operational educational environment.

- Be action-oriented with a high level of initiative and resilience.
- Committed to increasing your own and others' knowledge of Te Reo and tikanga Māori, with the ability to demonstrate knowledge of Māoritanga and its relevance to work practices.

The appointing base salary for this role is $93,840 to $103,020 per annum. Appointments will be based on skills, experience and relativity (remuneration band extends beyond the appointing salary range to account for tenure progression).
