We particularly encourage applications from people who may not meet every requirement but can demonstrate the skills and potential to succeed in the role. Skills and experience can be gained through many pathways, including whānau, community, volunteering and mahi aroha.

Applicants must have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa and will be required to complete relevant pre‑employment checks.
