About Kaipātiki Project

Kaipātiki Project is an innovative EcoHub based on Auckland's North Shore. Our vision is to grow a sustainable future for people and nature. We achieve this through a number of projects, including native bush regeneration and stream care, a large-scale native plant nursery, a zero waste hub, community composting hubs and food gardens.

We are also involved in several sustainability networks including EnviroHubs Aotearoa; Iwi, Hapū Community Nursery Network; and Network North to name a few. You may also have seen one of our keystone community engagement projects, which we partner with three other EnviroHubs to run each year: EcoFest.

We are committed to upholding Te Tiriti O Waitangi and to embracing Te Ao Māori in the workplace. We partner with mana whenua and mataawaka Māori where possible, to understand how mātauranga Māori can improve environmental outcomes in our work.

Our values:

  • Manaakitanga - We seek to encourage and uplift all those we welcome and work with.
  • Whanaungatanga - We nurture relationships and reciprocal connections that build belonging to community and place.
  • Kaitiakitanga - We continue to develop shared caring for and responsibility to our local places.

What it's like to work at Kaipātiki Project

Our team culture is kind and welcoming. There is a genuinely loving atmosphere where everyone is heard and included. We operate on a flat hierarchy, meaning that everyone is responsible for their own area of work, and we work alongside each other toward a common goal, rather than being ranked and managed. It also means that there is room to add your own flair and creative input, to bring your ideas to life, and to help steer the direction of the project! Working with Kaipātiki Project, you will also have many opportunities to meet people, attend relevant workshops and events, and grow your network within the sustainability arena in Auckland.

We are a passionate group of people who love what we do, and care deeply for our environment! If this sounds like the kind of place you'd like to work, please take a look at the three positions we currently have available, and get in touch!
