RECEPTIONIST / ADMINISTRATOR

Permanent / Full-time
Christchurch

Kia hiwa rā!

We're looking for a new 'Larissa'; the face of our organisation for over 10 years, who is leaving us for an exciting new opportunity and we are therefore, looking for a new Receptionist / Administrator. The 'special someone' who will be the new face of our organisation, will either have a thorough knowledge of tikanga Māori or a desire to learn. We want someone who will be able to make every interaction with manuhiri and staff special. You will be greeting everyone from politicians and business leaders, to our most adored kaumātua, so we're really looking for someone who is at the top of their game.

The Office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu is a dynamic and contemporary organisation that exists to support the tribal institutions of Ngāi Tahu and to give effect to the aspirations of Ngāi Tahu Whānui guided by our vision of 'mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei' (for us and our children after us).

Our Receptionist / Administrator is the first point of contact for all manuhiri to our Wigram site so it is critical that this person reflects our values of manaakitanga and whanaungatanga. We need a passionate professional that embodies the concepts of culture, citizenship and choice of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, with previous experience in a similar role, superior organisational skills and a desire to make a difference.

Ideally you will be an advanced user of Microsoft programmes and have an awareness of Health and Safety in the workplace. Above all else you will have boundless amounts of common sense and initiative, be reliable, diligent and be able to work autonomously.

In return you will be part of a dedicated, supportive and high performing team who take pride in providing excellent customer service to their colleagues and manuhiri.

Building Tribal Capability - Opportunity for study and development

Applications for the First Nations' Futures Programme for 2013

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu in conjunction with the Ngāi Tahu Research Centre (University of Canterbury), is pleased to announce its participation in the First Nations' Futures Programme in 2013.

The First Nations' Futures Programme provides an unrivalled opportunity for high achieving Ngāi Tahu and Māori post graduate students to gain access to leading international research and thinking within a uniquely indigenous context. Applications are also invited from Ngāi Tahu and Māori undergraduate students who are close to completion of their degree and who intend to apply for postgraduate study in 2013.

The programme has a strong theoretical basis with an emphasis on indigenous economies, science and environmental management. The course is designed to take our best scholars who have a record of community participation and expose them to new development theories that they may choose to implement within their communities and whānau. This programme is designed for high achievers with established long term community relationships and a solid cultural background. The First Nations' Futures Programme is also intended for those scholars who are close to completion of an undergraduate degree, who intend further academic study and who intend a career which will build capacity within their communities and whānau, in areas of value to their community.

The First Nations' Futures Programme is an international alliance between Ngāi Tahu, the Kamehameha Schools in Hawai'i, Sea Alaska, the Ngāi Tahu Research Centre at the University of Canterbury and Stanford University in California. It includes the First Nations' Futures Institute held at Stanford University for two weeks in October-November 2013. The dates are 19 October-2 November 2013, plus travel time.

Participation in the programme demands a high level of motivation and commitment and will suit those who thrive in an action-orientated and highly applied learning environment. The academic programme includes lectures, presentations and dynamic learning experiences. Professors from Stanford University and leading experts in the varying fields serve as instructors in this intensive two-week study programme.

Criteria for selection as a Fellow includes:

  • Well-established community connections accompanied by a track record of service to whānau, hapu and iwi;
