Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role
We have an exciting full-time permanent opportunity for an experienced Engagement and Partnerships Advisor to join our small but busy, Communications and Engagement team.

The Engagement and Partnerships Advisor role is key for the development of our national disability information and advice website, Firstport. You’ll work with key organisations across Aotearoa to engage and partner to drive better outcomes for our disability community.

Through creativity, passion and outcome-focus, this role is essential in helping us deliver on our vision for our customers of a non-disabling Aotearoa.
