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 country. That's what we're talking about here. The provision of health services in New Zealand, and how it's run is about to change in a big way.

This is an opportunity to work in a rewarding and high-profile area of health and make strong connections in the mental health and addictions space more widely. Mental Health and Addiction Workforce is an area with strong political interest and attention, and we're looking for someone who can operate competently in that environment.

Mōu | About you
You will have a background in working with the Mental Health and Addiction workforce, or a real interest in working in this area. You've experienced working in a busy team environment and can manage your workload through prioritisation and strong communication.
Technical writing is one of your core skills, and report-writing and interpreting policy are something that you enjoy and excel at-especially when it comes to clearly communicating the complex. You have got a history of sound Project and Programme Management and can maximise the quality and contributions of individuals to any project. In past roles, you've always maintained solid relationships and shown self-awareness and integrity when dealing with internal and external stakeholders.
