Wellington Central, New Zealand Te Aka Whai Ora Full time

**Ko wai mātou | Our Organisation**

At the heart of Te Aka Whai Ora is our people working together, navigating through our initial years of work to address intergenerational Māori health inequities and help deliver, better health outcomes for all New Zealanders. We need people to join us on this growth journey as we create a 'future fit' team who are dedicated to ensuring we weave together our knowledge and skills in a combined effort to reach Te Pae Tawhiti our Vision our Destination.

Te Aka Whai Ora and Te Whatu Ora will together shape the delivery of health services in Aotearoa for generations to come and will form the core of a modern and integrated service looking after the needs of all our whānau. Our waka hourua seeks to drive transformational change for our health system to support better outcomes and wellbeing for all our people - whakahiko i te oranga whānau.

**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

To work within our health system at this time is a once in a lifetime chance to transform the way we deliver to Māori and address intergenerational health inequities. This role is an exciting and challenging opportunity for an energetic and experienced Executive Assistant to work with the directorate in setting up new processes for monitoring the delivery of health services to Māori across the whole health system.

This is a top tier business support role reporting directly to the Maiaka Aroturuki | DCE Monitoring. You will contribute to the overall leadership, performance, strategy and direction of Te Aka Aroturuki | the Monitoring directorate by providing professional executive support and advice. You will be a key face of the directorate, walking alongside your DCE to role model manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga and rangatiratanga. Your ability to strengthen relationships, influence and connect with others is pivotal to being successful.

The primary purpose of the role is to:

- Provide executive, business, administrative and secretarial support to the DCE
- Ensure high level inbox and diary management, dealing with dairy conflicts and prioritising workflow
- Coordinate, with other executive business support roles, to best support the wider leadership team
- Ensure the activities and operations of the DCE's office are managed effectively
- Co-ordinating all administrative and business support matters.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and experience**

You will bring a kete of extensive knowledge and experiences, while holding the wisdom and mana associated with this kind of role. As an experienced business support professional, you will have an exemplary understanding of medium to large organisations, in addition to the legislative frameworks that effect the health sector.

You may be an experienced Senior Executive Assistant supporting a Group Manager, Director or Chief of level. Alternatively, you could have administration experience in governance, HR, legal secretarial, or a high performing public sector entity looking for a new challenge. Either way, we would love to hear from you - particularly if you meet the following requirements:

- Demonstrated experience in a medium to large complex organisation, or other government agency
- Advanced skills in the MS Office Suite with special emphasis on Outlook, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams
- Excellent organisational skills along with the ability to think ahead, use initiative, establish priorities and meet deadlines while preserving the highest levels of accuracy and confidentiality
- Be a great team player with a great sense of humour and aroha
- Excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication skills and the capacity to manage relationships at all levels (including with senior officials and health sector leaders)
- Experience in implementing Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles in operational contexts
- Experience in successfully developing and maintaining a structured approach to managing a wide range of stakeholder relationships both internally and externally
- Willingness to personally take a stand for equity and anti-racism**.**

**Nau mai, uru mai | Come and join us**

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

We acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs; we are committed to ensuring a safe workplace that is whānau orientated and supportive.

Te Aka Whai Ora is tasked with addressing inequalities experienced by Māori and to ensure greater access, experience and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system - Māori, Pacific and Tāngata Whaikaha.

**Te painga o te mahi tahi me matou | Benefits**

This is a truly rewarding role where you will come to work each day making a difference, helping to lead change across our health service. Te Aka Whai Ora supports flexible and hybrid working, in addition to learning and growth opportunities to staff.
