Christchurch, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time
Management Accountant at Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Waitaha Canterbury, Christchurch
  • Based in Christchurch
  • Monday to Friday
  • 1.0 FTE (40 hours a week), Fixed term till February 2026

Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora is firmly grounded in the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and is dedicated to serving all New Zealanders. Through integration and collaboration, we are building a health system underpinned by partnership, equity, sustainability, whānau-centred care, and excellence.

About the Role

Our Finance Business Partnering teams support hospital and community delivered services across Canterbury Waitaha and West Coast Te Tai o Poutini. We ensure financial strength and accountability is maintained by designing, carrying out, and monitoring clear financial processes and practices. There are plenty of opportunities in this role for greatly expanding your professional expertise.

About the Service

As part of our diverse Finance team, the Management Accountant is a key member working with our corporate and business partnering finance teams, service, and portfolio managers. We are a team that looks out for one another, works collaboratively together, and is always on the hunt for improved ways of working.

About you

You will be a strong communicator who can confidently challenge scenarios based on sound reasoning and information. You will have strong technical skills, be comfortable with the analysis of large datasets, and discuss financial information across our teams. You may have some experience in cost/project accounting or at least you're interested in learning it.

We are not necessarily looking for the traditional Accountant; this role would suit dynamic and ambitious candidates who want the opportunity to grow and develop in an operationally focused environment, providing our front line clinical and business partners with added value which flows on to benefits for the patients in our health system.

You will ideally have a relevant professional accounting qualification and experience in the areas of:

  • Business case development/financial analysis.
  • Financial performance reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and month-end tasks.
  • Developing processes/systems.
  • Supporting the annual budgeting process.
  • Facilitating financial performance conversations.

Working for Health New Zealand

Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora is dedicated to ensuring excellent healthcare for the people of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The Equity Work Programme at Health NZ focuses on helping everyone in the health system think about equity when they do their work. It also promotes the cultural change needed for the whole system to reach equity in health outcomes.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Health New Zealand is committed to being good employers and honouring our equal employment opportunity obligations.
