Matauranga Maori And Engagement Lead

Rotorua Library aims to be an internationally recognised Library model infused with a strong Matauranga Maori focus influencing innovation and positive community outcomes.
We are looking for a self-starter who is fluent in te reo Maori to build and maintain relationships, with iwi, our community, schools and stakeholders in order to collaboratively develop library services that are relevant to and meet the needs of Maori. This important role will also help build and support capability across the Library and wider Council teams to contribute to an engaging environment that welcomes Maori, and reflects Maori values and Tikanga.
A tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline such as Maori Studies, History or Teaching is required, as is a high level of professional commitment and self-motivation. The ability to connect with people of all ages is important as this role is involved with programmes throughout the library.
Te Kaunihera o nga Roto o Rotorua (Rotorua Lakes Council) is committed to working in partnership with Te Arawa, our local iwi. We aspire to being a bicultural organisation and we value staff who speak te reo Maori, have an appreciation of Maori values, and a working knowledge of tikanga Maori.
If you have a passion for Matauranga Maori and commitment to building relationships and engagement within our community then you just might be the person we are looking for.
