New Zealand Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Full time

Te Whatu Ora is undergoing a key time of change where you will meaningfully contribute to our kaupapa of creating a more equitable, accessible, cohesive and people-centred health system.
**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

As the Executive Assistant to the Chief Transformation Officer, you will be responsible for delivering high quality and timely support and advice to the Chief Transformation Officer and other Senior Members of the Transformation Executive. This role will have a specific focus on providing higher level business support to the Senior Leadership Team as well as the internal EA teams, external providers, contractors and visitors to the organisation.

This is a full time, permanent role ideally based in Wellington, and currently _open only to internal Te Whatu Ora or Te Aka Whai Ora applicants._

**Mōu | About you**

As an experienced Executive Assistant, you will have experience in managing projects that require forward planning and high-level coordination. You will be comfortable critically reviewing and editing executive papers, Board and sub-committee papers and be able to identify and provide advice to the Chief Transformation Officer and the Senior Leadership Team.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and experience**
- Extensive Executive Assistant experience, not just with diary and travel management, but also with project management experience
- High level of written communication skills, with proven ability in drafting papers and briefings
- Proven experience in critically analysing and reviewing executive level documentation and providing advice to senior leaders
- Experience in operating in a confidential and/or secure environment with access to sensitive information

**Ka kawea e koe | You will bring**:

- Competency with te ao Māori, tikanga, and te reo Māori or a commitment to starting your journey and taking ownership of your learning and growth
- A calming influence in an environment that can be ambiguous and constantly changing.

**Ko te mahi e tika ana mō te ao hurihuri nei |Work that suits today's ever-changing world**

Te Whatu Ora supports flexible and hybrid working for our kaimahi. We want our national teams to be made up of diverse people from across the motu, just like our health system.

**Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai |Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion**

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.

At Te Whatu Ora we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whānau orientated and supportive environment. 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.
