Wellington City, New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation Full time

Help shape the future of the ACC Scheme and ACCs role as part of the wider health and welfare system
- An innovative and collaborative team culture with a supportive and knowledgeable manager
- Competitive salary, 9% superannuation and other valuable benefits
- Wellington based with flexible working arrangements

**We want all people in New Zealand to receive the support they need to avoid injury and manage their own wellbeing.**

ACC interacts with most people in Aotearoa at some point in their life and we think the ability to make a real difference to the lives of all New Zealanders is a great reason to come to work each day

We have multiple Senior Policy Advisor roles available, spanning across our Scheme Policy team and Strategy and Customer Systems policy teams. Both teams contribute to important mahi as part of the wider Strategy and Customer Insights team.

We need thought leaders who excel in stakeholder management. In these roles you will provide your policy skills and knowledge to a variety of complex policy problems focussed on either improving the AC Scheme or the way AC interacts with the wider health and welfare system. Your role will include identifying key policy issues that affect ACC and our customers; providing strategic advice to senior management and the ACC Board on the impact and response to these issues; and leading or supporting ACC’s engagement in cross-government programmes of work.

ACCs position as a crown entity provides opportunity to lead pieces of advice that will contribute to government priorities with the advantage of being able to draw on a wealth of diverse perspectives, experience and operational technical expertise across the organisation. With this comes the satisfaction of seeing your work developed right through from initiation to operational implementation.

These roles will also provide opportunity to extend your skills and knowledge in the operational workings of a large organisation with significant opportunities for career growth and progression.

We’re committed to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi by pursuing equitable access, experience, and outcomes for Māori, and providing space for mātauranga Māori-based approaches that can serve both tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti (non-Māori). Our Te Tiriti o Waitangi direction is guided by Whāia Te Tika - ‘Pursue What is Right’ - ACCC’s Māori Strategy.

**What we are looking for from you to be successful in this role**:

- A strong public system background (ideally with experience in the health or social system) with experience in legislative and regulatory processes.
- Superb relationship management and communication skills.
- Experience with cross-government programmes of work.
- Sound judgement with an analytical ability allowing you to assimilate complex information and provide advice accordingly.
- Inclusive, safe and collaborative working style which creates space for diverse perspectives.
- If you can tick off a few of the list above we’d love to hear from you. For us, it’s about how you go about your work - the relationships you build along the way and how you work with others for success.

**Working at ACC**:

- Employee networks to support our colleagues from diverse backgrounds.
- The option to explore flexible working that suits your needs and ours.
- Development opportunities in te reo Māori me ngā tikanga.

The salary for this role ranges between $97,888 - $126,677 depending on experience, + 9% superannuation. To view the position description, click **HERE **.
