Senior Advisor, People and Culture at Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People, Wellington - Wairarapa

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 the Senior Advisor, People and Culture you will be responsible for providing trusted HR and employment relations advice and support.

Your initial focus will be on the people policy, process and guidelines suite at Whaikaha. Where new or revised documents are required, you will create concise, accessible, user-friendly guides for our people practices. You will also support upcoming employment agreement negotiations, for example, through facilitating focus groups and communication and engagement activities.

This is a fixed term role finishing 30 June 2025.

You will have broad Human Resources experience including knowledge of current best practice. This will be paired with experience and knowledge of implementing effective HR and ER policies, initiatives and programmes.

Your practical experience within the government sector will ensure you can provide advice on the strategic context of projects and policy issues and how these operate in the real world.

You will have strong relationship management skills with the ability to influence and gain trust and credibility with a wide range of people.

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.

Joining Whaikaha means being part of a whānau that celebrates the diversity that each individual brings.

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. For example, you may prefer to use video instead of traditional CV and cover letter. You might wantwhānau or a friend to tell us about you or use social media or a PowerPoint presentation. Let's kōrero about what you need to feel supported in your application.
