About us The Ministry of Social Development is a people-centred organisation. We're in communities across the motu, working with partners to help New Zealanders be safe, strong and independent. We provide social policy and advice to government and assistance, including income, employment and housing support to people of all ages, families, whānau and communities. As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner we are committed to supporting and enabling Māori, whānau, hapū, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations. Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they are.

Senior Advisor - Family and Community Services
- Are you passionate about helping New Zealand's most vulnerable?
- Join a dynamic and inclusive working environment
- 12 Month Fixed term/Secondment opportunity

We make a real and positive difference for communities through the services we invest in and the support we give.

About the Role
As a Senior Advisor you will be responsible for redesigning and enhancing current family violence services. Your role will be to inject fresh thinking and agility to enable and catalyse social and economic change in order to get the best outcomes possible for people affected by family violence. This role involves working directly with non-government organisations, while also navigating government.
With your broad range of skills you will be expected to provide insight and analysis of systems and services at a national level and work closely with other government agencies. This will include developing and implementing services and system supports and promoting continuous improvement.
You will be required to build strong relationships with both non-government and government agencies and support the design and implementation of new services across Aotearoa New Zealand. While the role is based in Wellington there will be travelling across the country.

About you
We are seeking an individual who has a positive attitude, relevant prior experience in community, social services and machinery of government. You will need excellent relationship management skills and be able to demonstrate how you have contributed to facilitation. You will also be able to demonstrate your ability to develop practical solutions for complex problems with a focus on getting the job done
If you have the following skills, knowledge and experience then we would love to hear from you:

- Be able to embed Te Ao Māori (te reo Māori, tikanga, kawa) into the way we do things at MSD
- Understand and be able to demonstrate actioning the Articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi
- A sound understanding of political processes and how government operates
- Strong analytical skills
- Be able to demonstrate your excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to influence decisions
- Be able to bring a fresh perspective into service design
- The ability to deliver, work to competing deadlines and be comfortable with ambiguity
- Be a strategic and innovative thinker that can provide practical solutions for complex issues

An understanding of family violence or experience within the sector is desirable because you will provide important support systems to our New Zealand communities.
If you are shortlisted for an interview, you will be invited to provide an example of your writing based off a scenario that will be provided to you.
If this sounds like you, and you're ready to either take a step up, or take on the next set of challenges in your career, then we want to hear from you
