About us
The Ministry of Social Development is a people-centred organisation. We’re in communities across the motu, working with partners to help New Zealanders be safe, strong and independent.
We provide social policy and advice to government and assistance, including income, employment and housing support to people of all ages, families, whānau and communities.
As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner we are committed to supporting and enabling Māori, whānau, hapū, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations.
Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they are.

Ministry of Social Development
Permanent, Full Time in New Plymouth
The Ministry of Social Development is committed to achieve better outcomes for all New Zealanders. To do this, we have three key shifts that underpin everything we do:
Mana Manaaki: A positive experience every time
Kotahitanga: Partnering for greater impact

Work Brokers play an integral part by helping everyday New Zealanders to connect to employment opportunities. We do this in many ways, including partnering with business associations, providers, local iwi and hapū. We support employers with training products such as Mana in Mahi, wage subsidies for eligible New Zealanders, and connecting with businesses and Māori entities who have secured funding to build the local economies.
