You’ll also assist with developing and implementing quality improvement initiatives, liaising with internal services and external agencies to provide a quality service that meets the needs of the department and stakeholders. You will monitor the KPIs within the department and investigate non-compliance and implement quality improvements to prevent incident recurrences. In addition, you will also be the IT Super User for Forensic Pathology and will be responsible for managing the department’s IT requirements. This will include assisting with the IT service provision for the Northern Forensic Pathology Service (NFPS) in Palmerston North. There will be a significant focus on IT projects, daily IT operations and IT troubleshooting. You will be the first point of contact for all computer related issues and liaise between the department, Lab Information Systems, IT Helpdesk and department, and external vendors.
