NZQA has a team of around 450 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.
Our commitments to equity and lifelong learning are reflected through professional development programmes, including a comprehensive range of opportunities to learn and practice te reo Māori as well as opportunities for staff to strengthen their Pacific cultural capability.
NZQA is dedicated to providing a welcoming environment for Māori and Pacific staff, including supporting whakawhanaungatanga and leadership development through Te Kāhui Māori and our Pacific Staff Network. These groups also provide a collective voice forum for Māori and Pacific staff. Read more »
