Careers for Māori staff at AUT
Nau mai, haere mai. Bring your mātauranga, your aspirations and your whole self to AUT.
Here, you can thrive as Māori. Te Tiriti o Waitangi shapes how AUT works, day to day – in our decisions, our leadership, and the university we’re building.
Te Aronui, our Te Tiriti framework, sets that direction: growing Māori leadership, backing equity, and making sure te ao Māori is valued and respected across everything we do.
A place where you can belong and thrive
Working at AUT is about more than building a career. It's about being part of a university that is shaping the future of Aotearoa through education, research and innovation.
Academic, researcher, professional staff member, leader – your contribution matters here. You'll be backed to grow your career, develop your pūkenga, and make a real difference for our ākonga and our communities. Wherever you work at AUT, you'll feel our values – pono, tika and aroha – and are surrounded by a culture where people are encouraged to lead with integrity, build strong relationships and work towards something bigger than themselves.
Te ao Māori at AUT
Creating a workplace where Māori thrive requires more than good intentions. That's why we're developing Māori leadership, building cultural capability across AUT, backing equity in how we employ and promote, and recognising tikanga Māori, te reo Māori and mātauranga Māori as integral to how we teach, work and lead.
This is a place where your identity is respected, your voice is valued and your contribution helps shape the future of AUT.
Why join AUT?
Joining AUT means becoming part of a diverse community of more than 4,000 staff and 27,000 students, including one of Aotearoa New Zealand's largest Māori student communities. You'll work alongside people who care about education, innovation and real change. Together, we're building a university where people can belong, contribute, lead and thrive.
Tūhono mai. Join us and help shape the future of AUT.
