  Skills and Experience Required
  

  The role will have a focus on supporting sector and community audiences to understand their rights and responsibilities under tenancy and employment laws.
  
  You will work closely with internal teams and other government agencies to establish relationships and engagement with sector and community stakeholders affected by the legislative changes, and to develop tools and resources so people can more readily understand and comply with their rights and responsibilities.
  
  You don’t need to be a policy or regulatory expert, although that would help. Your understanding of how to communicate technical information in a simple way would be a significant benefit.
  
  If you enjoy liaising with customers to understand their needs, can write a great plan (and deliver on that plan), we’d love to hear from you.
  
  • Experience in leading, developing and implementing communications and engagement strategies
  • Strong writing, editing and oral communications skills; demonstrated experience in tailoring messages to different audiences, and translating complex information into plain language
  • Proven ability to build, maintain and influence strong relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders
  • Knowledge of tikanga Māori, te reo and Te Ao Māori world view
  • Experience or empathy with diverse communities – for example (but not limited to) Pacific peoples, diverse ethnic and migrant communities or people with disabilities.
  • Must have the legal right to live and work in New Zealand.
