Working at NZQA

NZQA has a team of around 400 people who are committed to quality education for all New Zealanders. We work hard to provide a rewarding and challenging workplace that offers job satisfaction, personal growth and work-life balance for all our staff.

Work, live and play

We give our team the opportunity to develop and grow, by recognising and rewarding talent through internal promotion opportunities wherever possible. For more information about our organisation see our Values and our Client Charter.

Our offices are in the heart of Wellington's CBD and within walking distance to the Botanical Gardens and the waterfront. We are in a great location to make the most of all Wellington has to offer.

NZQA is a fun, friendly place to work. We have regular social and sports events.  Our staff compete in the annual Business Games and Relay for Life, and many get together for lunchtime indoor soccer and netball.
