This is an exciting time for Te Arawhiti – the Office for Māori Crown Relations. We're about to enter a new phase for the organisation, taking on a new name, with a strengthened focus on completing historical Treaty settlements and supporting Takutai Moana determinations.
Following Government's decisions last year to transfer the Māori Crown Relations portfolio to Te Puni Kōkiri, we've redesigned Te Arawhiti so it's ready to take on new challenges, while maintaining much of the unique mahi that makes the culture of our organisation so special. It's a great time to join us as we renew and recommit to our kaupapa.
We have a number of opportunities for people who are passionate about the kaupapa, enjoy learning, and achieving tangible outcomes. The work is varied and challenging. With a focus on honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi and recognising Māori rights and interests, you'll work with people who share the same values.
At Te Arawhiti you'll be exposed daily to tikanga Māori, supported and encouraged to develop skills and an understanding of te ao Māori, and experience the personal connections and privilege of resolving historical Treaty claims and supporting the recognition of customary Takutai Moana rights.

The work you will be doing requires you to have experience in policy development, including monitoring developments and literature in relevant areas, researching and collecting information, liaising with internal and external groups, and drafting papers.
