This is an opportunity to become an integral part of a high-performing, ambitious, and supportive team that works on interesting matters with real-world impact for our local community.

About the Role

This is a permanent position based primarily in our Whanganui office, with occasional (paid) travel to our Palmerston North office as required.

We are flexible on hours for the right candidate. The role can be structured around school or childcare commitments, provided a minimum of 20 hours per week is worked. Initially the position will be office-based while training occurs and, once established in the role, work-from-home flexibility on an ad-hoc basis is available.

Experience in a legal office is highly desirable. However, we are willing to provide training to the right candidate who demonstrates the skills, attitude, and aptitude to succeed in the role. Experience in a professional office environment is essential.
