Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei - for us and our children after us.

Kia ora!

Do you have a passion for conservation and animal welfare?

Ngāi Tahu Tourism is one of the largest tourism operators in Aotearoa and we are seeking for a Kiwi Keeper to join our dedicated kiwi team at the National Kiwi Hatchery.

The National Kiwi Hatchery is the largest and most successful hatchery - having hatched over 2,500 kiwi chicks since 1995, with an average hatch success of 95%. We also play an important part in helping with kiwi research and are a centre of excellence for juvenile kiwi research and scientific data collation.

The National Kiwi Hatchery is open to manuhiri (visitors) allowing us to advocate kiwi conservation.

We take great pride in warmly welcoming manuhiri (visitors) to our experiences. Manaakitanga (hospitality) is one of the core values that drives the way we do business. As hosts, we care for our customers and our team as our own whānau.

A little bit about you

We are seeking an individual who:

Has previous experience and knowledge of avian health and conservation
Enjoys participating and collaborating with other team members
Keeps cool under pressure
Has the ability and willingness to work shifts on weekdays, weekends and public holidays
Anything could happen in a day - and we need someone who isn't afraid of a long and varied to-do list!

If "Kia ora and welcome to the National Kiwi Hatchery" rolls off your tongue, please get in touch!

As the successful applicant you will have an affinity for the needs and aspirations of our Ngāi Tahu whānui. Alongside this, you will have an understanding of, or an eagerness to learn and engage with our Ngāi Tahu values and te reo Māori. Ka tika!

The National Kiwi Hatchery is a fun, unique and safe place to work and we'd like to keep it that way. Before starting with us, you'll go through a range of checks, including drug and alcohol testing. Health and safety is super important and this is part of how we keep you, our team and our customers safe.
