Iwi Partnerships Manager

He wāhi whakahirahira a Te Tai o Kāpiti ki te mahi, ki te noho, ki te pārekareka hoki. E ōrite ana tā mātau ko Te Kaunihera ā Rohe o Kapiti whakakitenga ki tēnā o te hapori, ā ka whakatau ake rā i te anganga whakamuatanga mō te rohe nei, ahakoa ōna pikinga, me ōna hekenga ka hau mai ki te rohe. Ko tā mātau ko te Kaunihera, he whakakanohi i te hapori, he whakakaha hoki i te mana whakahaere ā-Takiwā ki te whakatairanga i te āinga ā ōhanga, te mana taiao, me te mana ahurea.

E eke panuku ai ēnei moemoeā o mātau, kei te rapu Te Kaihautū Hononga Iwi (Iwi Partnerships Manager) mātau ki te whakahaere i tā te Kaunihera hiahia ki te kōtui atu ki te iwi Māori. Ka noho tahi, ka mahi ngātahi tēnei tūranga ki Te Kaiwhakahaere Hononga a Iwi (Group Manager Iwi Partnerships). Ka whakahaere te Kaiwhakahaere i tētahi punua tīma mātanga e aro pū ana ki te hanga i ngā rautaki me ngā rauemi e tāea ai e te tangata whenua ngā whakataunga ā-rohe te āta waihanga.

Ka whakaatu te kaitono nei i tā te tangata whenua hiahia me ōna wawata ki a mātau, ā, ka tuitui i te taukaea hononga i waenganui i te Kaunihera, te Mana Whenua, me Ngāi Māori hoki. Mā kōnei ka tāea hoki e mātau ēnei wawata, me ā mātau whakaarotau te whakatutuki kia pai ai tā mātau mahi tahi ki ngā Māori me te Kaunihera.

E whai hua ai te kaitono ki tēnei tūranga, me ngākau whitawhita, mātua mōhio hoki ai ia ki ngā Kaupapa Māori (ka whai panga ki te whakahaere ratonga), ā, me matatau te tangata ki te mahi tahi me ngā kāhui katoa o te kaunihera e whakatinatia ai ngā mātāpono o tā mātau e whai nei. I roto i āna mōhiotanga ki kōtui i te tangata, nō roto, nō waho hoki, ka haria katoatia mai e koe ōu pūkenga kōtui tangata ki ngā mahi tuitui, ā, ka kitea hoki te whakaurunga o ngā mātāpono ki ngā mahi.

Mātua rā, me ngāku pono, me mātua paitia te kaitono ki te ekenga panukutanga o te ahurea Māori, te huringa o te taiahurea, me te whakamana i te hapori, e eke Tangaroa ai te kaitono ki tēnei tūranga.

He tūranga whakahirahira tēnei mā te tangata e whaiwhai ana i tūranga kē atu, hei whakahaere i ngā ratonga hei painga mā te katoa
