Wellington Central, New Zealand Te Whatu Ora Full time

Join Te Whatu Ora at a key time of change where you will meaningfully contribute to our kaupapa of creating a more equitable, accessible, cohesive and people-centred health system. This is mahi that will improve the health and well-being of everyone in Aotearoa, and we've got an opportunity for you to be part of it

**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

Te Whatu Ora Improve takes a whole system, consumer, whānau-centred and equity led approach to accelerate improvement and innovation underpinned by best evidence, data and evaluation.

In this role, your primary purpose will be to support the Improvement & Innovation Manager to manage a team of Improvement & Innovation roles, including Project Managers, Coordinators, and other specialist roles for specified programmes of work, and to lead and facilitate significant local, regional, and national improvement and innovation programmes and projects. As part of this, you will also work to foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation and build capability across the organisation.

On a day-to-day basis, you will oversee the delivery of any improvement and innovation projects and programmes currently being undertaken across the business unit. As part of this, you will establish plans, milestones and measures to enable outcomes to be delivered on time and within budget, and you will regularly track, assess and report on these measures.

You will also be responsible for coaching, training and mentoring staff and project teams across the projects and programmes, ensuring that best practice improvement and innovation tools and methodologies are understood and being utilised by the teams.

**Mōu | About you**

You will be an experienced, knowledgable and adaptable Programme Manager, with experience working within health, and ideally in a large organisation.

You will be a strong leader with the ability to manage your team effectively, while providing guidance to other leaders on how to manage their teams. You will easily be able to identify knowledge gaps within teams, and support the team members through coaching, training and mentoring to ensure that they are working to the best of their abilities.

You will be required to work with a range of teams and leaders across the organisation, in a national, regional and local level in this role so you will need to be an excellent communicator with a strong stakeholder focus, who is able to build strong relationships across the organisation and understand the different needs required in each context.

**Ko te mahi e tika ana mō te ao hurihuri nei | Work that suits today's ever-changing world**

Te Whatu Ora supports flexible and hybrid working for our kaimahi. In roles that don't require an in-person element, we encourage you to ‘work from where you are.' We want our national teams to be made up of diverse people from across the motu, just like our health system.

**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,that will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa, and future generations.

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together 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 greater 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**
