Job Description

POSITION: Kaiwhakahaere Kiripaepae - Receptionist
HOURS OF WORK: 20 - 21.5 Hours Per Week
TERM: Permanent
STARTING SALARY: $68,028 pro-rata, $36,281 - $39,002 actual 

The Kiripaepae is crucial to the daily operations of CLWHV. It is vital that guests are greeted with manaakitanga, and clients are appropriately triaged and assisted based on their individual needs. Rōia (lawyers) and kaiwhakamanawa (staff who run our legal advice sessions) rely on the data entry and filing mahi done by the Kaiwhakahaere Kiripaepae to uphold our responsibilities to the Law Society; and our Operations Kaihautū and General Manager rely on the Kaiwhakahaere Kiripaepae for administrative support. Many seemingly small tasks held by the Kaiwhakahaere Kiripaepae are important overall for a smooth, happy, and functional workplace.

Our constitutional goal of Treaty-based operations means they will also have a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi based partnership. Sensitivity to, and knowledge of, te reo Māori and tikanga Māori is also desirable, though not essential.

CLWHV offers an exceptional work environment with a strong collective employment agreement and generous leave entitlements.  Our aim is to make Community Law the best place to work for the best people!
