**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

We have a permanent, full-time opportunity available to join Hauora Māori Tūmatanui Directorate working within Te Wai Pounamu as a **Kaitohutohu (Advisor) **focused on Waitaha and Te Tai Poutini. The primary purpose of the Kaitohutohu role is to provide advice on embedding our te Tiriti relationship and obligations in NPHS regional and local initiatives, projects and services that impact on iwi and Māori communities.

The Hauora Māori Tūmatanui Directorate is the lead in supporting the NPHS to: embed the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi; support of iwi and Māori communities to realise their well-being aspirations; rapidly expand and develop our Māori workforce; and grow and develop the capability of our non-Māori and non-Pacific workforce to provide a culturally safe service.

To succeed in these aims, Hauora Māori Tūmatanui works as a cross-functional team embedded in all NPHS Directorates and supports our kaimahi Māori through the Pā Tūwatwata model to keep our workstreams safe and to have a strong foundation of togetherness utlising mātauranga ā whānau, ā hapū, ā iwi, to build a Māori workforce that is valued, elevated and can support the achievement of pae ora.

**Mōu | About you**

You're passionate about supporting a Tiriti dynamic region that enables iwi and Māori communities to realise their well-being aspirations. You're a collaborative team player, an advocate for our te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations and are focused on the pursuit of Māori health gains as well as achieving equitable health outcomes for Māori.

**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.

Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.
