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

**Contribute to transforming the future of health**:

- **Flexible working supported to balance your work and lifestyle**

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

The Pae Ora legislation gives us the mandate and opportunity to create a system of commissioning that has the needs of whānau and communities at its heart. In this new model, we are not ‘commissioners' holding the power. We are Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners and allies, we are listeners of diverse voices, we are holders of the space for communities and whānau to lead. We are a team of teams who live within and reflect the communities we serve.

We are responsible for designing community-based systems of care, agreeing health and wellbeing plans, executing those plans, and monitoring outcomes which then feed into the design process. We work in partnership with our Te Whatu Ora and Te Aka Whai Ora colleagues to shape system-wide public health services across the motu.

The Principal Advisor, Mentally Well sits within a team which oversees the development and management of all Board, Committee and Ministerial reports and briefings including Official Information Act requests (OIAs) and Parliamentary Questions (PQs).

The Principal Advisor is responsible for providing high quality information and advice in support of the mentally well team's work programmes in commissioning. The Principal Advisor acts as the main conduit between Commissioning and key personnel in the Office of the Chief Executive, liaising directly on Ministerial briefings and communications.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā weako | Skills and experience**

To succeed in this role you will need significant senior experience in governance and Ministerial servicing roles including:

- Strong written and oral communication skills with the ability to tailor complex messages to a range of audiences.
- Experience in the development and presentation of well-articulated, unambiguous, and robust advice, papers, and reports.
- A proven ability to use data and insights to identify trends, risks, and opportunities, to influence and guide organisational and system-level decision making.
- Previous experience working in government and a thorough understanding of the machinery of Government.
- Experience in developing, maintaining, and influencing relationships internally and externally, across various groups, including at a senior level.

**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, which will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa for generations.

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining 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 improved 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.
