"Tiakina te pukapuka hei taonga mātauranga, hei putanga ki te ao mātauranga"

He reo karanga tēnei nā Te Putanga ki Te Ao Mātauranga ki Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa ki te tangata e hiahia ana kia mahi ki tō mātou whare pukapuka.

Kia ora, have you been striving for a role that allows you the flexibility to grow support networks? Do you have a passion for enabling success? What about a desire to make a difference?

We have an exciting opportunity to do just that within Massey University Library on the Manawatū Campus.

This role is instrumental in creating a welcoming community for students and staff with a particular focus on our Māori whānau.

Do you have the following?:

Fluency or a reasonable level of competency in te reo Māori
A reasonable knowledge of tikanga Māori
Proven skills and confidence in outreach and liaison to proactively seek and establish collaborative relationships
An understanding of the research, teaching and learning processes
The ability to develop and manage the Ngā Kupu Ora collection at Manawatū Library
Whilst a degree or professional library qualification would be ideal, our focus is on finding the right person to make this unique role come to life

Pivotal to the success of this role is competency in te reo Māori and knowledge of tikanga Māori. As well as this is the ability to build relationships and community through proactively supporting the learning, teaching, research and enterprise needs of our Māori staff and students.

This role would suit a teacher looking to change careers or someone in the Museum sector.

Why Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa ki Papaioea?

We provide a fabulously supportive and innovative environment, as part of a great team, in a library that supports Mātauranga Māori, te reo and tikanga Māori, within an aspiring Te Tiriti-led university.
