**Permanent, Wellington**:

- Corporate Services leadership role
- Iconic and much loved Wellington organisation
- An inspiring workplace

We’re seeking a highly skilled and experienced corporate services manager to lead the Support Services function of one of Wellington’s most loved and highly regarded, not-for-profit organisations.

As Director Support Services at Mary Potter Hospice, you’ll lead a team of eight across the core support areas of finance, ICT, property, HR, and Health and Safety. While competence across these functions is important, HR will ideally be an area of strength.

A key member of the senior management team, you’ll be business and management savvy, and able to contribute confidently at this level.

**About us**

Mary Potter Hospice is a charity providing specialist palliative care services for people living in Wellington, Porirua, and Kāpiti. The caring team provides equitable, compassionate high quality hospice care free of charge for patients, families and whānau at home or in our Newtown Inpatient Unit.

**Skills and Experience**

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a support services leadership role, providing excellent leadership and guidance at this level, and able to competently work across the different aspects of support services, ensuring high quality service delivery to the rest of the organisation.

You’ll be commercially savvy and while you may not have a not-for-profit background, you must be cognisant of the complexities and challenges of operation within the charity sector, and able to fully embrace and champion the organisational values, and the nature of our work.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

- demonstrable experience in senior management, preferably in complex environments
- at least five years’ experience successfully managing the corporate service functions across human resource management, ICT, finance, and property
- excellent people leadership skills
- an understanding of Te Ao Māori and the implications of Te Tiriti o Waitangi for health organisations
- excellent communication skills
- a commitment to equity and working within a strong values based organisation
- a collaborative nature with a solution focused mindset.

Given the organisation’s purpose is to provide palliative care, it goes without saying you’ll have a sense of maturity and affinity to the wonderful and incredibly inspiring work Mary Potter Hospice provides in our community.
