The team sits within our Solutions Design and Implementation group which is responsible for designing the detailed policy, legislation, funding settings, and tools needed to achieve our system priorities.

We are currently seeing expressions of interest from suitably qualified individuals for the following roles, at both junior and senior levels of experience:

Programme Implementation roles at Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga are a mix of permanent, fixed-term, and hourly-rate contracts.

Connecting across the organisation, they work with our leaders to manage our strategic programmes, ensuring we provide the right capability and capacity to deliver on our housing system priorities.
Our Coordination and Administration staff are well organised, have a strong attention to detail, are able to take the initiative, and work independently as well as collaboratively.

Mō mātou | About us
Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga reflects the intention of ‘the foundation for a treasured home'. The name comes from the Māori whakatauki (proverb) ‘he kura kāinga e hokia, he kura tangata e kore e hokia', - ‘a treasured home will endure, not so a treasured person'. It carries with it a strong connection to our purpose: he kāinga ora, he hapori ora - thriving communities where everyone has a place to call home. The importance of ensuring the wellbeing of people within the home, and our connection with the land - acknowledges the generations of people who have always called this place ‘home' - and affirms our commitment to delivering for future generations of New Zealanders.
