The Head of Health, Wellbeing, Safety and Organisational Resilience is an exciting new national role and a core member of the P&C Leadership Team. People are at the heart of what we do here at Te Whatu Ora and this role leads the development and implementation of health and safety, occupational health and wellbeing, security, and emergency management strategies and programmes that position our people and our organisation to improve the delivery of health care to all New Zealanders.

You will bring with you the tools needed to successfully lead large diverse teams through change with you, achieving improved results while navigating a highly complex system. Your career has led you to have a sound understanding of health, wellbeing, safety and organisational resilience strategies and the expertise to advise on the design of management systems that align with the organisation's goals for employee health, wellbeing and safety and organisational resilience.

**Ka kawea e koe | You will bring**:

- Competency with te ao Māori, tikanga, and te reo Māori or a commitment to starting your journey and taking ownership of your learning and growth.

**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.

**Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai |Our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion**

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.

At Te Whatu Ora we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whānau orientated and supportive environment. 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.
