The Sector Directorate supports the sector in whatever way is needed to deliver outcomes. This includes strategic advice and support to the Justice Sector Leadership Board and other governance groups, leading or supporting cross-sector work, and helping ensure effective use of funding across the sector. The work is dynamic, and no two weeks are the same. The team sits independently of all agencies which provides a unique oversight of the whole. That perspective enables us to support, enable and connect others to ensure their work is connected to maximise and speed up the delivery of better outcomes for all New Zealanders.
The JSLB supports the collective efforts of the justice sector and binds the sector together in pursuit of a shared vision. The JSLB coordinates major change programmes and oversees planning to improve services, reduce harm and the number of people in the criminal justice system, maintain institutions and manage investment.

- Secretary for Justice (Chair)
- Commissioner, New Zealand Police
- Chief Executive, Department of Corrections
- Chief Executive, Oranga Tamariki
- Chief Executive, Serious Fraud Office
- Solicitor-General, Crown Law Office.

The JSLB and Ināia Tonu Nei have a mana ōrite relationship to work together on criminal justice reform. The mana ōrite relationship requires and enables all parties to acknowledge and accept each other's unique perspectives, knowledge systems and world views as being equally valid contributors to decision-making, and enables a shared work programme.

He aha ngā painga o tēnei mahi mōu/Why you will enjoy working here
Our team has a great working culture. We value diversity of thought and we are motivated to deliver great outcomes for New Zealanders.

We promote career development, offer a dynamic working environment, and a place where you can be yourself We value flexible working and have set office days and work from home optional days for our team as well.

Utu ā-tau/Salary
The appointing salary for this role will be between $103,540 - $135,211 and will be based on skills and experience.
