**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

This is a strategic leadership role responsible for formulating, shaping and driving the development of the Occupational Health Workforce (encompassing wider than RNs and includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists and OHPs and technicians; our MDT), ensuring alignment to Te Whatu Ora's Risk Framework.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and experience**
- Experience needed to lead the occupational health workforce development programme in an environment that demands intricate problem-solving and critical thinking to achieve the health and safety management of workers at a national level for Te Whatu Ora, while holding accountability for recommending key performance indicators and providing management systems for achieving healthy outcomes for Te Whatu Ora workers

**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.

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

When you join us, you become part of transforming the health system. This is a once in a life-time change, that will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa, and future generations.

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.

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.

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

**Me pēhea te tuku tono | How to apply**

**Please note**: This position is part of the Te Whatu Ora's Simplify to Unify Change Process therefore affected kaimahi will be given preference and priority for this position.
