POU WAIORA - TE TAITOKERAU - TWO POSITIONS


These are part-time (20 hours per week)

Do you want to work alongside whānau and Māori communities in Te Tai Tokerau to grow participation and leadership in physical activity – as Māori, by Māori, for Māori?

Sport Northland is seeking a values-aligned individual to join our Whaiao team as Pou Waiora – Te Taitokerau. These part-time (20 hours per week), fixed-term roles are open for applications from 29 May to 19 June 2025 and can be based in Whangārei or elsewhere in Te Tai Tokerau, depending on the candidate.

Shape and support kaupapa Māori approaches to tākaro, play, and movement.

This unique role is about advocating for the value of physical activity in Māori settings, from marae and hapū to kura and hāpori Māori, and co-designing whānau-centred opportunities grounded in mātauranga Māori, tikanga, and te reo Māori.

You’ll be joining a kaupapa-driven team working across Te Tai Tokerau to uplift aspirations through tākaro and ngā taonga tākaro, guided by Pārete, Te Whetū Rēhua, and other relevant kaupapa Māori frameworks.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Confidence in tikanga and te reo Māori
  • Deep understanding of Māori-led development and kaupapa Māori frameworks
  • Proven experience working with whānau, hapū, iwi, marae, kura and Māori providers
  • Strategic thinking, relational skills, and a commitment to upholding He Whakaputanga and Te Tiriti o Waitangi

The ideal candidate will also be confident using digital tools, and capable of working evenings or weekends as needed. A full, clean driver’s licence and the right to live and work in Aotearoa is required.


If this sounds like you, we encourage you to complete the application form, link below, and send it along with your CV and cover letter outlining how your pūkenga align with this kaupapa.

If you'd like to kōrero further or ask questions about the role, get in touch with Rāti (Pou Hiwa) and Paora (Pou Aronui) today.
