This is mahi that will improve the health and well-being of everyone in Aotearoa, and we've got an opportunity for you to be part of it
**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

We know that when Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) are well-supported to grow and develop their skills they are better able to meet the diverse needs of their patients and contribute positively to the overall health and well-being of their communities.

Join our newly established Resident Doctors Support Service (RDSS) team where you will have the opportunity to make a difference to the future medical workforce of Health NZ - our Resident Medical Officers.

Our team is working to achieve the vision for our RMOs - “to support the efficient delivery of a well, well trained medical workforce for today and into the future”. Our small national team is supported with a strong network of local RMO units who deliver support services to the Resident Medical Officers in our health system.

Join us during an exciting phase where we will be working collectively on initiatives and programmes to transform and continually improve the experience for RMOs and enhance their wellbeing and support them to continue to provide optimal care to our whanau and communities.

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.

**Nau mai, uru mai | Come and join us**

When you join us, you become part of transforming the health system. This is a once in a life-time change,that will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa, and future generations.

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all. Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.

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.
