**Senior Advisor, Exercises**

**Type**: Fixed term 24 months

**Location**:Wellington

**Ko wai mātou | About us**

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) provides national leadership to New Zealand's distributed emergency management system. NEMA's primary focus is on the performance and capability of the emergency management system as a whole, across all hazards and all risks and the 4 Rs of risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery.

NEMA values diversity and inclusion. We want our workforce to reflect the diversity of our communities. We value and respect the contributions of our people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and perspectives. We support flexible ways of working that bring out the best in you.

We are committed to doing our part to deliver on the Crown's commitments to Māori under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We strive to actively build te Ao Māori perspectives and capability into our day to day work, values and practices.

**Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role**

The purpose of the Senior Advisor, Exercises is to:

- Lead and support the design, development, delivery, and evaluation of exercises across the Emergency Management System.
- Promote a culture of continuous improvement and learning.
- Work with lead agencies to assist them to develop national exercises where that agency has the lead.
- Support the team working with Regional Civil Defence, to encourage use of exercises for readiness preparation.

The position sits with System Capability Unit / Wāhanga Pūmanawa Pūnaha which leads the identification, design and implementation of strategies that will build the capability, capacity and resilience of the emergency management system across New Zealand. This includes developing and implementing a range of workforce development initiatives which also support the professionalisation of the emergency management workforce in NZ. System Capability supports performance improvement through the setting and monitoring of professional development standards and tests capability, resources and processes through national and local exercises.

As NEMA is an operational agency, there may be a requirement to respond to emergency activations in the event of a national emergency response. This may include potentially long hours and challenging working conditions, e.g. an emergency could occur at any time of the day or night and may require working shifts and/or working weekends**.** NEMA provides thorough training prior to you being required to assist in a response. NEMA will do all in its power to support staff in meeting their work and family responsibilities during an emergency. The welfare and wellbeing of our staff is of upmost importance.

**Due to the nature of our role in Emergency Management, NEMA has a very dynamic work environment and as a small agency, staff are often required to pivot and change focus on their work at short notice. Attributes of adaptability, agility, resilience and curiosity are all required on a daily basis, in and out of times of emergency response.**
