Kia ora rā e te whānau,
Im just emailing to let you know that the advert will now close on the 19th of April. Plenty of time for whānau to apply using the link below.
This is a one‑year, work‑based opportunity with Hēteri-ā-Nuku, designed to nurture and inspire the next generation of Kaitiaki o te taiao, grounded in tikanga Māori and practical conservation mahi.
Mō te tūranga | About the opportunity
The Hēteri Ā Nuku programme supports emerging Māori leaders into conservation careers through:
- Academic learning and recognised qualifications
- Hands‑on field and corporate conservation experience
- Personal development, leadership, and work readiness
- Tailored learning pathways aligned to individual aspirations
Roles are based in Kerikeri / Pēwhairangi / Bay of Islands, Napier, Gisborne, and Tauranga, with consideration given to nearby locations for the right candidates.
The advert is now live, and I encourage you to share it across your hāpori, whānau, and networks with anyone who may be interested in starting a career in conservation. Kaitiaki Ranger (Fixed term)
If you would like to kōrero further about the programme or the role, please reply to this email and I can arrange a time to meet.
