Canterbury, New Zealand Cgr Services Full time

The Ministry of Health Manatu Hauora (the Ministry) is seeking candidates who wish to be considered for appointment as health practitioner members of Occupational Therapy Board of New Zealand Te Poari Whakaora Ngangahau O Aotearoa (the Board), a responsible authority under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (the HPCA Act).
The purpose of the Board is to protect the health and safety of members of the public by ensuring that health practitioners are fit and competent to practice.
About the role Korero mo te turanga
Being a member of the Board is rewarding and challenging. You will be committed to improving the health of New Zealanders through contribution to the governance of the Board's legislative requirements.
The functions of responsible authorities are set out under section 118 of the HPCA Act. More information about the Board is available in the attached terms of reference and on the Board's website.
Appointments to the Board are made by the Associate Minister of Health, Casey Costello, typically for terms of three years. Members can be reappointed for up to nine consecutive years. The Ministry recognises that diversity enables our boards and councils to be high-performing and is committed to ensuring they represent the diversity in New Zealand's population, including gender, ethnicity, disability, age, and geographic location.
The Ministry encourages people from all backgrounds, especially those who can reflect the needs, values, and beliefs of Maori, and have an understanding of and are committed to meeting the obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi, to apply for these roles.
About you Korero mou
For all applicants, governance and/or regulatory experience is a plus but not required. It is beneficial if you have the ability to lead strategically and to balance competing demands.

Preferred skills and attributes for health practitioner positions include:

Governance or regulatory experience
Experience and knowledge of te ao Maori / tikanga Maori
Knowledge of the health sector

Health practitioner applicants must be a registered occupational therapist and have a good understanding of the scope of practice, competencies, and code of ethics or conduct.

Please note that members of a responsible authority board cannot simultaneously be a member of the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal (the Tribunal) given the disciplinary function of the Tribunal over health practitioners.
How to apply Me pehea te tono
Applications must be made using the Ministry of Health online Career Centre by close of business 23/10/2024, and include:

A completed declaration form (attached)
A covering letter

Due diligence checks will be undertaken for shortlisted applicants. Your personal information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020.
The Ministry may also request that the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service conduct national security screening of you as part of the appointment process.
The appointment process can be lengthy, taking up to six months. Your patience and professionalism as we work through the next steps is appreciated.
The outcome of the recruitment process for the Board will be confirmed after it has been considered by the Cabinet Appointments and Honours Committee.
