Each team has its own specific objectives, activities and work plan. If successful, you will work within a supportive team gaining hands-on experience and contributing towards various and diverse projects – plus you'll be lucky enough to learn from some of our best and brightest leaders.

Please visit www.rotorualakescouncil.nz for information about council and the teams offering internships listed above. Further detail around role specific mahi and expectations will be explained during the interview process.

Working for Council means you'll be joining a dedicated team where your individual effort is part of something much bigger – delivering great things for our city and our community.

Our commitment to biculturalism through collaboration with Te Arawa, our local iwi, is hugely important as is your appreciation for Maori values, te reo, and tikanga Maori. Ideally, you will be undertaking tertiary education in a related field. Please contact people@rotorualc.nz if you have any questions regarding our Summer Intern Program.
