**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

We have an important role in supporting the Crown in its relationships with Māori under te Tiriti o Waitangi | the Treaty of Waitangi. The government is committed to improving services and outcomes for Māori and strengthening the Crown's relationships with Māori.

We are responsible for designing community-based systems of care, agreeing health and wellbeing plans, executing those plans, and monitoring outcomes which then feed into the design process. We work in partnership with our Te Whatu Ora and Te Aka Whai Ora colleagues to shape system-wide public health services across the motu.

The Clinical Advisor will work in partnership with other clinical leaders and hold critical clinical relationships both internally and externally with key sector clinical groups. Whether in a national or regional role, the Clinical Advisor will work in a collaborative way with other system development colleagues across commissioning teams to design and implement improvements that address equity, quality, and patient safety outcomes. This role has an important role to play in whole-of-system clinical processes.

**This role is based in the Te Manawa Taki Region made up of Waikato, Lakes, Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti and Taranaki. You will need to be based in the region. Your location can be discussed at interview stage.**

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā weako | Skills and experience**

As well as holding a relevant clinical professional qualification the Clinical Advisor needs to draw on experience in providing clinical governance and advice into key system and service redesign within mental health and addictions in varied environments including:

- Demonstrated experience in providing advice into service design.
- Demonstrated experience in providing clinical governance across clinical services.
- Recognised as a senior clinical advisor, including participation in research and or other clinical learning environments.
- Demonstrated experience at a leadership level for developing, maintaining, and influencing relationships and partnerships across clinicians, wider sectors and organisations including with Māori and Pacific Peoples.
- The ability to compellingly communicate complex information and ideas in both oral and written communication to a range of audiences including senior management, Board and Ministers.
- The ability to build and maintain strong internal and external relationships at a senior level.
- Experience navigating and operating in a regulated environment, experience working constructively across functions and track record of building and maintaining the trust of all stakeholders.

**Nau mai, uru mai | Come and join us**

When you join us, you become part of transforming the health system. This is a once in a life-time change, which will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa for generations.

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all. Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.

We are working towards a system that better meets the complex demands of a growing population, addresses the persistent inequalities experienced by Māori and ensures improved access, experience and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system - Māori, Pacific and Disabled People.

**Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai | Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion**

**Me pēhea te tuku tono | How to apply.
