- Be passionate about improving outcomes for young people with cancer.
- Have extensive experience in the provision of cancer care and/or AYA health and wellbeing services and be an expert practitioner in your own field.
- Be able to work across traditional health service boundaries, organisations, and professional groups to develop a national view for AYA cancer services that encompasses local, regional, and national concerns.
- Have excellent interpersonal and leadership skills and be capable of inspiring others to implement positive changes.
- Engage effectively with young people and their whānau, ensuring their voices and experiences are heard and valued.
- Support the Network in developing and implementing a work programme to address inequities that are within our system and deliver improved outcomes for the young people and whānau we serve.
- Be an effective communicator, providing clinical advice and systems thinking to support future planning.
- Be invested in your own cultural competency and enact Te Tiriti by holding the Network and our health system to account, driving opportunities for equity improvements and equitable outcomes for Māori.
