You will be a key member of the People & Culture Leadership Team, and will be responsible for providing advice and support to the new national business group, Hospital and Specialist Services.

The Hospital & Specialist Services business group in Te Whatu Ora comprises approximately 80,000 staff and is made up of a wide range of occupational groups in front line and enabling roles.

You will provide face to face support for Hospital and Specialist Services leaders at all levels, especially through the changes as we bring 29 previously separate geographically based entities into national based business groups in a unified organisation. You will closely support leaders during this transitional period, collaborating with Kaimahi from senior management to frontline people leaders.

Your career has led you to have a sound understanding of business processes, and the People & Culture as a whole.

**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.
