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, future focussed and world leading.

Ko tōu ake mahi - What You'll Do
The Statutory Appointments and Integrity Services tīma is dedicated to making a positive difference in the health sector by supporting Ministers and the Governor-General to make appointments to approximately 500 different statutory roles in the health system. We are committed to supporting each team member to reach their full potential and work collectively to produce high quality advice. The team is committed to equity and Te Tiriti and has a dedicated focus on increasing diversity in health statutory appointments. The team is also responsible for providing integrity services leadership to the business, including best practice advice across a range of areas such as Public Service Standards of Integrity and Conduct, complaints processes across the business, the Cabinet Manual and cabinet processes, amongst other things.
You'll be helping to develop frameworks and processes to embed the new integrity services function across the organisation. This function is new for the team so there is a real opportunity to help the Manager shape and develop it. You will also provide leadership and mentorship to the rest of the team and maintain an overview of the appointments work. Occasionally you will be asked to act for the Manager of the Statutory Appointments and Integrity Services team.
