Firearms Safety and Education New Zealand is New Zealand’s Firearms Regulator. Our Vision is to ensure the possession and use of firearms in Aotearoa is the safest in the world.
To achieve this, Firearms Safety and Education delivers four core functions: effectively implementing the firearms licensing systems; managing the Firearms Registry; educating people to enable compliance with their legislative responsibilities; and promoting the safe possession and lawful use of firearms.
We are committed to fostering a culture of safe and responsible firearms use, gun ownership and awareness by working collaboratively with the firearms community, our stakeholders, and fellow agencies.
About the role
As an Arms Administrator with Firearms Safety and Education New Zealand, you will play a vital role in supporting New Zealand's firearms licensing system and helping to deliver positive public safety outcomes.
Working as part of a dedicated firearms team, you will provide high-quality administrative support across a range of licensing and firearms-related processes. This includes preparing firearms licensing applications for assessment, maintaining accurate records, supporting customers through the licensing journey, and ensuring information is processed accurately and in accordance with legislation, policy, and organisational standards.
This role requires strong attention to detail, sound judgement, and a commitment to delivering excellent customer service. You will regularly engage with members of the public, firearms licence holders, and internal stakeholders, helping to ensure applications and enquiries are managed efficiently and professionally.
You do not need previous firearms knowledge to be successful in this role. If you bring strong administrative skills, a customer-focused mindset, and a willingness to learn, we will provide the training and support needed to develop your understanding of firearms legislation, licensing processes, and our operating environment.
At Firearms Safety and Education New Zealand, we are committed to creating a high-performing and inclusive workplace where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work. We embrace diversity and recognise that different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives strengthen our ability to serve our communities.
Key Deliverables:
- Prepare firearms licensing applications and supporting documentation for assessment.
- Deliver accurate and timely administrative support in line with operational requirements and service standards.
- Maintain accurate records and information management practices.
- Provide professional and customer-focused service to internal and external customers.
- Prioritise and manage workload effectively to meet service expectations.
- Work collaboratively within a team environment.
- Adapt positively to change and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information appropriately.
- Use Microsoft Office applications and operational systems competently and efficiently
