Mō mātou | About us
Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children has a commitment to putting tamariki and rangatahi at the heart of what we do.
In our work, we aim to demonstrate these values:

Mō te tūnga | About the role
We are looking for an outstanding Senior Project Manager to join our in-flight Enabling Communities Programme.
Enabling Communities is a transformative initiative that gives selected partners an opportunity to redesign and reimagine what care looks like for their own tamariki and whānau.
Partners lead the design, development, and implementation of care prototypes, they set the pace, and they are the decision makers.
This role will support our partners to deliver their prototypes, by identifying and driving changes Oranga Tamariki needs to make to support the success of the partner.
The role will sit within our Enterprise Portfolio Management Office (EPMO) and will be supported by a Practice Lead and connected to a community of Project Managers.
You'll be assigned to the Enabling Communities Programme team, with a dotted reporting line to the Lead Programme Manager.
The role is full time and could be based either in Wellington or closer to our partners in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
Please be mindful that this is not a role for someone who is inexperienced in engaging and working with iwi, Māori providers, and community groups.
