Ko wai mātou | Our Organisation
It's not very often something happens that's big; like, really big. Big to the point that it will touch the lives of every single person in the motu. That's what we're talking about here. The provision of health services in Aotearoa, and how they are delivered, is about to change in a big way.
Te Whatu Ora-Health New Zealand and Te Aka Whai Ora-Māori Health Authority will together shape the delivery of health services in Aotearoa for generations to come and will form the core of a modern and integrated service looking after the needs of all our whānau. Te Whatu Ora is ‘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. Join us in this mahi...
Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity
Join our Corporate Delivery Services team as Head of Risk and champion a strong risk culture at a national, regional and local level. As a key leader, you will embed a risk management framework and bring together a consolidated view of risk across Te Whatu Ora, as well as leading the corporate risk function.
The Head of Risk will develop the National Risk Work Programme and collaborate closely regionally and locally to ensure appropriate risk management, mitigation and reporting activities are occurring, and that staff working in risk functions across the motu are well supported. This role will be responsible for developing and implementing an agreed Risk Management Strategy (RMS) for strategic risks and risk assessment, analysis and management.
Relationships and collaboration will be key in this role, from reporting to ELT and the Board to educating and training staff members, to building relationships across the sector. As part of this collaboration, there will be a need to effectively communicate technical risk concepts and material to non-risk experts, and get their buy-in.
Mōu | About you
You are a Risk Management professional who has worked in a risk function for ten years or more, including time in senior leadership roles. As an experienced thought and people leader, you would be confident taking on this key role in a large public sector organisation during a time of transformation.
Past experience designing, building and embedding a risk management strategy and framework is critical and will allow you to hit the ground running in this role, and a working knowledge of the health sector would be a bonus.
