Rotorua Lakes Council is seeking a Team Lead – Safe City Guardian to guide a dedicated team working to enhance safety, visibility, and manaakitanga across our inner city.
As Team Lead, you’ll manage the daily deployment of the Safe City Guardian team and act as a key connection point between Council, Police, Māori Wardens, emergency services, and other partner agencies. Your leadership will help ensure our city centre feels welcoming, safe, and supported for residents, businesses, and visitors.
