We’re looking for a Gardener to join our Tiaki Pā team and help care for the places, gardens and whenua that our people, kaimahi and manuhiri use every day.

This is practical, hands-on mahi. You’ll be looking after gardens and planted areas, keeping our grounds tidy and healthy, tackling weeds, pruning and planting, caring for specialised and cultural planting areas, and pitching in wherever the team needs you.

This isn't just about keeping our gardens tidy. Our Tiaki Pā team cares for Tūhoe property and resources so they are looked after, fit for use and ready to support Tūhoe objectives. a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

Working with Te Uru Taumatua also comes with something bigger: responsibility to our people, our places and what comes next.

You might already be an experienced gardener, grounds person or landscaper. Or you might simply be someone who knows their way around gardens, tools and outdoor mahi and takes real pride in doing a job properly.

The big things for us are that you are:

• Fussy and particular. You notice the small things and like your mahi finished to a high standard.
• Mahi proud. You don’t need someone standing over you to see what needs doing next.
• Curious. You like figuring things out and finding a better way to do them.
• A good team person. You’re honest, practical, warm, welcoming and willing to muck in when needed.

You’ll need

• a clean, current driver licence
• practical experience working in a small to medium-sized work environment
• confidence organising your own mahi and managing your time
• a flexible, values-based approach
• a strong eye for detail and pride in the standard of your work
• a commitment to working safely around people, equipment, property and whenua.

Experience operating gardening machinery and equipment would be useful. Growsafe, chainsaw certification and fluency in the Tūhoe dialect are all a bonus, but they’re not what will make or break your application.

If you like being outside, take pride in looking after things, aren’t afraid of real mahi and reckon you’d fit into a team that likes to get things done, we’d like to hear from you.

Haere mai. Bring your skills, your work ethic and your gumboots. We’ll take it from there.
