Wellington City, New Zealand Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Full time

Join Te Whatu Ora at a key time of change where you will meaningfully contribute to our kaupapa of creating a more equitable, accessible, cohesive, and people-centred health system. This is mahi that will improve the health and well-being of everyone in Aotearoa, and we've got an opportunity for you to be part of it.
**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

The **Regional Chief Health Promotion Advisor** is a Senior Leadership role in the Te Ikaroa / Central Regional National Public Health Service (NPHS) and member of the Regional Leadership Group (RLG). The role will be a key contributor to the National Health Promotion Director work and play a significant role in supporting delivery of national programmes in the region.

The primary purpose of the role is to provide leadership, advice, and guidance, to ensure the regional health promotion work is community driven, grounded in evidence-based principles of practice, consistent with the Ottawa Charter, and resonates with, and supports the diverse cultural needs of whānau and community. This role plays a key role in helping NPHS achieve the goals of Pae Ora.

**Mōu | About you**

As an experienced leader in health promotion, you will work closely with external partners developing and maintaining community connections, as well as having oversight and offering direction in the development and delivery of strategy, policy, and services across the region, and leading professional frameworks, reviewing and approving resource allocation, as well as research, and education.

In addition, you will provide organisation-wide assurance, leadership, and clinical governance for the clinical teams.

You will work closely with the health promotion sector, and ensure that the system provides equity for Māori, Pacific, people with disabilities, and other communities.

During this transition phase, you will drive the implementation of the health promotion operating model for NPHS and the region and lead the wider team through the associated change processes, including offering support into the professional development of the Regional Health Promotion Advisors, all the while - driving continuous improvement processes and practices, within the team.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and experience**
- Minimum 3 years' experience in a Senior Health Promotion leadership role/s
- Demonstrated broad health promotion experience of at least 5-10 years
- Experience in leading change, and service and quality improvement initiatives
- Experience in developing professional frameworks and governance systems
- Proven supervision, mentoring, coaching, and teaching skills

**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**
