- Coordinate access to relevant industry training and employment pathways where required.
- Provide ongoing post-placement support to both employers and rangatahi to ensure successful employment retention.
- Work with employers and rangatahi to resolve workplace issues and support sustainable employment outcomes.
- Maintain accurate records and meet all MSD contract reporting requirements.

The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience in employment services, recruitment, business development, account management, or a similar relationship-focused role.
- Established networks with employers, businesses, recruitment agencies, and/or MSD within the Wellington region that can be leveraged to create employment opportunities for rangatahi.

- Strong understanding of the local labour market and employment trends.
- Excellent communication, networking, and relationship-building skills.
- A proven ability to identify opportunities and connect people to meaningful employment.

- Strong organisational and time management skills.
- A full New Zealand Driver Licence.
- Experience working alongside Māori and Pasifika communities, together with an understanding of Te Ao Māori and culturally responsive practice, will be highly regarded.
