Ko wai mātou | Our Organisation

It's not very often something happens that's big; like, really big. Big to the point that it will touch the lives of every single person in the country. That's what we're talking about here. The provision of health services in New Zealand, and how it's run is about to change in a big way.

Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand and Te Aka Whai Ora - Māori Health Authority will together shape the delivery of health services in New Zealand for generations to come and will form the core of a modern and integrated service looking after the needs of all our whanau.

Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity

We are looking for an Executive Assistant to support the Group Manager, National Digital Services. You will report to the Manager of the Office of the Chief Data and Digital here at Te Whatu Ora, and will be part of a team that provides EA and other support to the Chief Data and Digital and the Senior Leadership Team.

As an experienced EA you will slot in with ease as you take full control of a busy diary, schedule all meetings and ensure the Group Manager is in the right place at the right time with everything they need to achieve results.

Key to your success will be your ability to maintain oversight of all internal and external updates by managing emails, creating business correspondence and minutes, and undertaking secretariat support along with ensuring things flow seamlessly.

You will also provide administrative support to the Group Manager's direct reports.

This role will require you to anticipate needs and be flexible to change as you respond to a range of events both big and small.

You will need to demonstrate the ability to build relationships and gain trust swiftly with a broad range of stakeholders, both face to face and virtually so being confident across the range of MS office products, will ensure your success in this role.

Mōu | About you

As the ideal person, you will have:

• The ability to think ahead, use your initiative, establish priorities and meet deadlines
• Strong administrative and coordination skills
• Ability to manage relationships across all levels of an organisation
• Enthusiam for working in a supportive and interesting team environment
• A keeness to learn and contribute to a new organisation.
• Advanced skills in the MS Office Suite

We can offer you a supportive team environment, opportunities to learn and grow your career. No two days will be the same and you will have the ability to make a difference to the lives of New Zealanders by contributing to the reformed health system. You'll  be working with passionate people who care about the work they do.

Te painga o te mahi tahi me matou – Benefits

Te Whatu Ora is committed to being a good employer and honouring our equal employment opportunity obligations. We want our team to reflect the diversity of the communities we're working to improve care for, including those which have been historically underserved by the health system.  We particularly welcome applications from Māori, Pacific people, disabled people, and the LGBTQI+ communities. We endeavour to provide flexible employee practices and conditions to support a healthy work-life balance, including part-time and flexible working arrangements.
