Te manu e kai ana te miro, nona te ngahere	
Te manu e kai ana te matauranga, nona te ao

The bird that feeds on the miro berry - its domain is the forest
The bird that feeds on knowledge - its domain is the world.

Loans of objects, artworks, specimens and taonga are an essential part
of the business of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.  Te Papa
is committed to lending its collection items to non-profit organisations
for public exhibition as a means to increase access to its collections.
Te Papa borrows for exhibition from almost anybody as a means of
enhancing the visitor experience.  Te Papa has a very active loans
programme, lending and borrowing approximately three thousand items
every year.

Every loan offers a prime opportunity for building relationships and
advancing knowledge.  The central Loans Team maintains consistent
standards and a consistent 'voice' and point of contact for borrowers
and lenders in their liaison with Te Papa.

Te Papa is looking for a Loans Officer- Bicultural to join the team.
You will have an understanding and appreciation of contracts.  You will
utilise your facilitation and negotiation skills to bring together and
effectively get results from a broad range of staff across the
organisation.  You will use these skills, combined with tact and
diplomacy, to achieve the best outcome for both Te Papa and the other
party involved in the loan transaction.  

You will be expected to be actively working with 50 to 100 loan
transactions at any one time.  You will be able to demonstrate that you
are highly organised and methodical in your work habits.  Your computer
literacy and knowledge of office software packages will benefit you when
managing projects and meeting deadlines.  You will have a relevant
tertiary qualification and experience working in a museum, gallery,
library or similar organisation.

You will also bring sound bicultural capability to support and mentor
the Loans Team.  To do this you will be competent in written and verbal
Te Reo and will have a good understanding of tikanga concepts and
practice, particularly as they relate to the management of taonga.
