Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About the position

In this role you will be supporting hiring managers across Te Kura through the full recruitment journey—from advertising roles, screening applications, to coordinating and sitting in on interviews, completing pre-employment checks, making offers of employment and supporting onboarding kaimahi (staff).

This is a hands-on role where you'll be:

• The go-to person for both candidates and managers
• Helping ensure recruitment runs smoothly and reflects good practice
• Delivering a smooth experience for both managers and candidates

Ko koe ēnei | About you

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Can communicate clearly and confidently

We also value:

• A good eye for detail and strong time management skills
• Respect for cultural diversity and a willingness to learn te reo Māori

• Tika | How We Practise — acting fairly and honestly
• Ākonga at the Centre — guiding every decision we make

Hei whakautu | In return

At Te Kura, you'll be supported by a collaborative HR team, enjoy flexible hybrid working, and benefit from additional leave over Easter Tuesday and the three days between Christmas and New Year. Most importantly, you'll help bring great people into Te Kura – people who will make a difference for our ākonga across Aotearoa.
