Group Manager Iwi Partnerships - Ref:8481NIaa
Toitū te whenua, toitū te wai, toitū te tāngata – toitū Kāpiti.
He wāhi whakahirahira a Te Tai o Kāpiti ki te mahi, ki te noho, ki te pārekareka hoki. E ōrite ana tā mātau ko Te Kaunihera ā Rohe o Kapiti whakakitenga ki tēnā o te hapori, ā ka whakatau ake rā i te anganga whakamuatanga mō te rohe nei, ahakoa ōna pikinga, me ōna hekenga ka hau mai ki te rohe. Ko tā mātau ko te Kaunihera, he whakakanohi i te hapori, he whakakaha hoki i te mana whakahaere ā-Takiwā ki te whakatairanga i te āinga ā ōhanga, te mana taiao, me te mana ahurea.
E eke panuku ai ēnei moemoeā o mātau, kei te rapu Kaiwhakahaere Hononga a Iwi (Group Manager Iwi Partnerships) mātau, ki te tuitui i te taura here tāngata i waenganui i te Kaunihera, te Mana Whenua me Ngāi Māori hoki, ā, he whakatere hoki i ngā whakaarotau e kaha ake ai te toro mai a te iwi Māori ki te Kaunihera. Ka noho tēnei tūranga i raro i te Tumu Whakarae, ko tā te Kaiwhakahaere Hononga a Iwi he whakauru i tā te Mana Whenua titiro i roto i te kaunihera e ai ki tā mātau e whai nei i te kākānorua me Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
E whai hua ai te kaitono ki tēnei tūranga, me ngākau whitawhita, me mātua mōhio hoki ai ia ki ngā Kaupapa Māori (ka whai pānga ki te whakahaere ratonga), ā, me matatau te tangata ki te mahi tahi me ngā kāhui katoa o te Kaunihera e whakatinatia ai ngā mātāpono o tā mātau e whai nei. I roto i āna mōhiotanga ki te kōtui i te tangata, o roto, o waho hoki, ka haria katoatia mai e koe ōu pūkenga kōtui tāngata ki ngā mahi tuitui, ā, ka kitea hoki te whakaurunga mai o ngā mātāpono ki ngā mahi.
Mātua rā, me ngāku pono, me mātua paitia te kaitono ki te ekenga panukutanga o te ahurea Māori, te huringa o te taiahurea, me te whakamana i te hapori, e eke Tangaroa ai te kaitono ki tēnei tūranga.
He tūranga whakahirahira tēnei mā te tangata e whaiwhai ana i tūranga kē atu, hei whakahaere i ngā ratonga hei painga mā te katoa!
