Join Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora at a key time of change where you will meaningfully contribute to our vision of creating a more equitable, accessible, cohesive and people-centred health system.
**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**
The Health New Zealand legal team has offices across New Zealand, supporting the operational work of our hospitals and community services. We are a collaborative and collegial team united by a commitment to support quality health services and outcomes for all New Zealand's populations. Our work is broad-ranging and critically important including work on significant and often novel public law, regulatory, medico-legal and privacy issues, and major procurement, data & digital, commercial, construction, property, and litigation matters. This work is fundamental to achieving the kaupapa of our organisation.
The role of the Senior Legal Counsel is to provide high-quality, pragmatic in-house legal advice on health and privacy law to support clinical staff and leaders. The role also provides advice on investigations by external regulators, attends hearings and other forums, works with Police, assists with reviews and disputes and provides training to staff on health and privacy matters.
This is a full time permanent role, based in Christchurch.
**Mōu | About you**
You will have at least eight years' broad post-qualification health law experience, possibly in an in-house capacity. You will be someone who enjoys a challenge, can take the initiative and get the best outcome for the organisation. Your great communication skills, and ability to provide both reactive and proactive advice to a wide range of clients in a fast-moving and diverse environment, will all be key to success in this role. You will be willing to learn and build on your skills and take the lead on projects and tasks. You will be a team player, and enjoy contributing to the culture of the legal team. Your relationship skills will be outstanding and your ability to see through complex problems and issues will be crucial.
**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.
**Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai |Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion**
At Te Whatu Ora we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whānau orientated and supportive environment. 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.
