Guided by a dedicated team of Poumahi, we embody and uphold the values of manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, pono me te tika, and mana motuhake in all that we do. 

Today, our work reaches hundreds of whānau, rangatahi, tamariki, and kōhungahunga through high-quality, whānau-centred programmes and services.

What you'll bring 

• Experience in contracts administration, funding coordination, grants management or compliance reporting 
• Strong attention to detail and confidence managing multiple contracts and deadlines 
• Excellent written communication skills 
• Highly confident capability using Monday.com or similar systems 
• Understanding of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga and kaupapa Māori values would be an advantage 
• A current full NZ Driver Licence
