**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

The IWRR function manages the national employment relations environment for Te Whatu Ora, including the national employment relations strategy, bargaining of multiple collective agreements, interpretation of collective agreements and related policy.

The primary purpose of this role is to:

- lead and oversee regional Industrial Relations specialists, providing professional leadership of the team working in regions to ensure effective management of IR matters and fostering positive labour relations with employee unions and representatives.

**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.
