**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

We have a three year fixed term, 0.9 FTE opportunity available to join our Hauora Māori Tūmatanui Directorate as an Aporei, Ope Whakakaupapa.

The primary purpose of the role is to contribute to the Ope Whakakaupapa team, an innovative project based team to support establishment, implementation, and prioritisation of the Hauora Māori Tūmatanui work programme by developing frameworks, models and tools that and ensure effective planning, organisation, reporting and delivery. This will include the coordination of activities across the National Public Health Service, with Public and Population Health, Te Aka Whai Ora, the Public Health Agency, Manatū Hauora, and project teams working across other public health entities and our Tiriti partners including iwi and Māori communities.

**Hauora Māori Tūmatanui**:
There are significant expectations in the reforms, and in the kaupapa of the NPHS, that we will embed the principles of Te Tiriti and advance equity for iwi and Māori communities. The Hauora Māori Tūmatanui Directorate is the lead in supporting the NPHS to: embed the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi; support of iwi and Māori communities to realise their well-being aspirations; rapidly expand and develop our Māori workforce; and grow and develop the capability of our non-Māori and non-Pacific workforce to provide a culturally safe service.

To succeed in these aims, Hauora Māori Tūmatanui works as a cross-functional team embedded in all NPHS Directorates and supports our kaimahi Maori through the Pā Tūwatwata model to keep our workstreams safe and to have a strong foundation of togetherness utlising mātauranga ā whānau, ā hapū, ā iwi, to build a Māori workforce that is valued, elevated, and can support the achievement of pae ora.
