Join us at Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People, where your knowledge will be used to create policies that enable people with disabilities to live autonomous lives.

Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People has a unique mandate of having responsibility to steward change across Government, while commissioning disability support services, as well as transforming how these services are delivered.

Disabled people expect to have greater choice and control over the supports and services they receive to lead their best life. We are committed to this by strengthening relationships and working in partnership with disabled people, tāngata whaikaha Māori, Pacific disabled people and their whānau.

Whaikaha presents an exciting opportunity to make a real difference. The call for "Nothing about us, without us" is an integral part of our operation.

As a Principal Policy Analyst, you will lead a range of projects and policy initiatives within the Ministry. A key work programme is to develop advice on policy settings to support fiscal sustainability of the disability support system, while providing choice and control for disabled people over the support they receive.

You will conduct thorough policy analysis in order to deliver high-quality recommendations on challenging disability policy topics.

You will form sound working relationships with colleagues, senior staff and managers across the Ministry, as well as forming good networks and relationships with senior staff in other health and social sector agencies relevant to the nature of the work.

You will coach and mentor Policy Analysts and Senior Policy Analysts to help them develop their skills and expertise. You will represent the Ministry in inter-departmental working groups and contribute to cross-sectoral policy development.

This is a 12 month fixed term role.

To undertake this role successfully, you will be a disabled person or be able to establish credibility and trust with the disability community, as well as having empathy and an understanding of the unique and diverse experiences of disabled people.

We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they really are. We are committed to the application of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in all levels of our work.

We encourage you to talk to us about any support you need. We want you to present this information in a way that plays to your strengths.
