OUR ROLE

The Horizons Region extends from Ruapehu in the north and Horowhenua in the south, to Whanganui in the west and Tararua in the east. As your Regional Council, our role differs from that of cities and districts. We are responsible for managing the Region’s land, air and water resources on behalf of the communities we serve. We also contract passenger transport services, play an important role in road safety education, work to reduce the risk and impact of flooding, and lead the planning for and response to emergencies to help keep people and properties safe.

WORKING FOR US

Our organisational culture is critical and shapes our decision making and interactions with each other, and the wider communities we serve. We are committed to encouraging a supportive, positive and inclusive culture where communication, ideas, collaboration, and skills are valued. We believe that this is key to our success. Our culture is reflected in our ‘ Big 5 ’ behaviours which help to shape us as an organisation.

HIRING PROCESS

Our attraction strategy often involves advertising our vacancies through other forums such as recruitment websites, social media, recruitment agencies, and local and national newspapers.

OUR PEOPLE

Our staff are involved in a wide variety of work. This is reflected in over 100 different roles such as scientists, accountants, river engineers, transport planners, policy analysts, plant and animal officers, and hydrologists. The following short clips will give you an insight into what our staff do.
