Strengths based role with room for growth
Be part of an adaptive and "fit for the future" organisation
Waitaha - our Canterbury region - is like no other and we are proud to call it home. We are privileged to be working with Nga Papatipu Runanga, stakeholders, and our wider community to protect our environment, including water, land, and air through regulation and planning. As a Regional Council we're responsible for flood protection, public transport, civil defence, and more.
Together we're taking action to shape a thriving and resilient Canterbury, now and for future generations. Toitu te marae o Tane, toitu te marae o Tangaroa, toitu te tangata. If the land is well and the sea is well, the people will thrive.
The key focus of this role is to support the uplift and development of capability across our organisation, whilst supporting the team in shaping a thriving and resilient organisational culture.
This role will:
Coordinate and manage organisation-wide learning and development initiatives covering everything from initial needs analysis and design of training materials through to event organisation, managing supplier contracts, and advertising.
Contribute to the success of the broader Organisational Development programme of work which includes leadership development, performance, reward and recognition, staff survey, inclusivity and diversity initiatives.
Provide expert advice and support across the business to develop capability and embed a continuous learning environment.
Focus on improving processes and delivery in line with best practice and the latest innovative approaches.
Work in partnership with internal kaimahi to support the development and uplift of organisational capability around Te Ao Maori, kaupapa Maori, and being a tiriti partner of excellence.
You'll have a proven background in coordination or events management and ideally bring previous experience in learning and development. A relevant qualification in Human Resources, Organisational Psychology, or a related field is highly desirable.
In addition, we're looking for someone who can:
Confidently interact with and provide advice, guidance, and support to leaders and kaimahi across the organisation.
Easily pick up new systems (and previous experience using ELMO or Articulate is a bonus!)
Proactively develop, foster, and maintain excellent working relationships at all levels.
Take initiative and use their curiosity to continuously improve processes.
Display cultural competence and be skilled or want to further improve your expertise around Te Ao Maori.
Our values underpin everything we do. We understand and embrace a diverse workforce; this diversity will enable us to better serve our people, our community, and our greatest taonga, the environment. We value everyone's contribution, diverse thinking, and skills.
We're on a journey to become a treaty partner of excellence, including incorporating te ao Maori into our work. We offer supportive opportunities to develop capability in this area and encourage our people to use kaupapa Maori, matauranga Maori and te reo Maori in our daily work. We welcome you with an open heart & mind, wherever you are on your personal te ao Maori journey.
