New Zealand Ministry of Justice

Senior Policy Advisors (Perm & Fixed Term)

Wellington

FULL TIME

November 13, 2024


Te Haeata/The Opportunity
Are you an experienced senior policy advisor with a proven track record in delivering legislative change?
Our work in the Policy Group is wide ranging, with opportunities to shape thinking and drive legislative change across the justice sector and all of government. It's interesting and challenging, with a chance to apply your critical thinking and relationship management skills.
We are seeking senior policy advisors (permanent and fixed term). Senior Policy Advisors lead programmes of work, coach more junior staff and are supported by our Principal Advisors. These roles require a strong policy skill set, preferably with an emphasis on regulatory policy.

Te āhuatunga a te tūranga / About the role
Successful candidates are appointed to the Policy Group, and these roles will be placed in the Family Law policy team or Courts System Policy team. These teams are leading work related to court timeliness and efficiency as well as supporting the development and implementation of policy and legislation. However, other Senior Advisor opportunities may arise over the recruitment period, so if you are interested in working in Justice policy more generally, we would welcome your application.

Ō pūkenga/Skills and Experience
We are looking for someone with a proven track record in:
  • analysing complex policy issues and providing clear advice
  • strong relationship management with diverse internal and external stakeholders
  • prioritising, planning and delivering on multiple workstreams
  • excellent communication, including being able to clearly and simply explain complex information for Ministers and other audiences
  • coaching and mentoring.
The successful candidates will have a relevant tertiary qualification or equivalent knowledge, skills, and experience. Experience with the legislative process or a legal background would be a significant advantage but is not essential.

Mō mātou/About us
At Te Tāhū o te Ture - the Ministry of Justice, we're committed to strengthening people's trust in the law of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Joining the Ministry of Justice means you will become part of an inclusive organisation that values you and the communities we serve. It's our promise to ensure our workplace is one where our people feel healthy and safe, supported and able to be themselves at work. We value respect as the foundation for building a positive workplace culture and one where diversity is welcomed and celebrated.

Utu ā-tau/Salary
The appointing salary for this role will be between $110,766 to $143,388 based on skills and experience.
