We’re looking for someone who knows Change back to front and inside out. You will be a leader and mentor in Change to build and foster the growth in change capability across our group.

To be successful in this role, you will have led Change in a range of programmes and projects, so you know what good Change looks like. You’ll be a great communicator, confident talking to a variety of stakeholders.

You will also offer:

We partner with our takiwā colleagues to understand local context and priorities, and to support their leadership of successful change in the sector.

The Change Team supports Te Tāhuhu, our group, and our regional teams with best practice change methods to support sector-facing implementation. We assess the impact of sector-facing change and ensure takiwā have what they need to support successful implementation.
