Opportunity: Creative Career Consultant

About the Role
We are seeking an empathetic and energetic all-rounder to join our high-performing team as a Creative Career Consultant.
In this role, you will help deliver ArtsLab, our innovative career development and employment programme. Ideally, you bring a background in recruitment and/or career development and have relationships with employers in the Auckland area. Experience in the arts sector is not essential—we have that expertise covered.
This is a challenging and highly rewarding role that demands quick thinking, strong organisational skills and the ability to work confidently with diverse creatives who have varied needs. Above all, we seek someone passionate about empowering individuals and connecting them with employers to achieve sustainable and meaningful employment.
Located in Devonport, ArtsLab provides professional development and career guidance for creatives registered with Work and Income and on the Jobseeker Support benefit. Previously known as PACE (Pathways to Arts and Cultural Employment), we are Aotearoa New Zealand’s longest-running creative employment service.
Our mission is to help creatives find meaningful employment by building their resilience and confidence while imparting lifelong personal, job-seeking, and professional skills.
We offer a robust and engaging programme that includes workshops, mentoring (with external industry experts), and career coaching in a safe and supportive environment.
