About us
The Ministry of Social Development is a people-centred organisation. We're in communities across the motu, working with partners to help New Zealanders be safe, strong and independent.
We provide social policy and advice to government and assistance, including income, employment and housing support to people of all ages, families, whānau and communities.
As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner we are committed to supporting and enabling Māori, whānau, hapū, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations.
Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they are.
Executive Assistant
We are looking for an executive assistant superstar to provide high quality support to the General Manager Maori Partnerships and Programmes
Mō te tīma / About our team
The Partnerships and Programmes team focuses on building strong and resilient communities using a range of prevention and community development approaches which lead to sustainable and long-term outcomes for whānau, communities and whole of populations.
The team work to the Ministry's Statement of Intent, which is underpinned by three key shifts, which we collectively refer to as Te Pae Tawhiti – Our Future. Te Pae Tawhiti signals the Ministry's strategic direction and the organisational shifts needed to achieve better outcomes for all New Zealanders.
Te Pae Tata, our Māori Strategy and Action Plan, embraces these shifts and articulates how they will be realised for all Māori.
Te āhuatunga a te tūranga / About the role
We are seeking an experienced Executive Assistant who understands what it's like working in a busy, dynamic and complex environment to support these aspirations of Te Pae Tawhiti. Reporting to the General Manager Maori Partnerships and Programmes, which sits within the Māori, Communities and Partnerships Group, you'll provide a full range of executive support services where your days are varied, and the team are fun and exciting.
Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako / Skills and experience
This opportunity will suit a self-managing professional who is comfortable juggling multiple deadlines, across multiple managers and easily builds rapport. Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written along with a “can do” attitude and sense of humour, your relationship management skills will be exceptional which will really make you stand out in this role.
Your primary focus will be to provide daily organising and time management and prepare documentation for the General Manager, as well as organise internal and external stakeholder meetings for the wider team. Whether you're arranging travel bookings or attending stakeholder meetings, you'll do it all with your natural flair and unflappable manner.
To succeed in this role, a strong understanding, confidence, and commitment of aspects in Te Ao Māori will be of great benefit in working in this team. You will no doubt have worked with senior leaders, be proficient across the suite of Microsoft products and not be afraid to try new ways of working. We offer a collaborative team environment, flexible working, and the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of all New Zealanders.
If you think you are our new EA superstar, please apply now with a cover letter outlining what appeals to you about this role and why you believe you would be most suitable.
Eligibility to work in New Zealand is mandatory - this includes holding a valid work visa that covers the whole period of employment.
