Ko wai mātou - About Us
At Manatū Hauora we are the kaitiaki of the health system, providing leadership and driving strategy and performance. We regulate the health sector and are the primary source of advice on health matters. As we move away from the response to the Covid pandemic now is the time to look to the future, to ensure New Zealanders are cared for by a health system that is innovative, equitable, future focussed and world leading.

Ko tōu ake mahi - What You'll Do
You will work in our highly passionate, professional and enthusiastic advisory team. We enjoy working in a positive and supportive environment where we can test one another's thinking, offer each other peer support, and work collaboratively with a common purpose and work ethic and, most importantly, we love what we do

Our team partner with their respective portfolios to support the Ministry (people leaders and employees) in all areas of operational and strategic HR. You will gain exposure to work with every level of Manager at the Ministry, to operate as their trusted advisor on day-to-day HR issues, and to input into HR strategy, policy, and practices.

The opportunities to develop are endless. With a big programme of work there is always something to keep you engaged and challenged. Bargaining, the review of our job families, our remuneration and performance reviews and developing our ER toolkit are just some of the interesting pieces of work you could get stuck into. There are also opportunities to work in collaboration with wider teams within the Ministry supporting work programmes as well as partnering across People and Capability.

We are on a journey of moving towards a business partnering model, this role will be integral in that transition and how the people and capability team can better support and enable the business to deliver on their important work programmes.
