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.

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.
