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 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 NZ for generations to come and will form the core of a modern and integrated service looking after the needs of all our Whanau.

 

Here at Te Whatu Ora Waikato District we have a team of 8,000 working across the Waikato where everyone plays a vital role in the care of our patients – directly or non-directly. Our vision is Healthy People. Excellent Care.

 

We are a values-based and inclusive organisation that is committed to deliver the best health outcomes for our total population. To do this, we are working hard to develop a robust and capable workforce that reflects the population we serve. We strongly encourage applicants from all backgrounds with the necessary capability and who share our values to apply and would greatly value seeing more applicants from our Māori communities.

 

A little about our service - the Pathology service provides an extensive range of diagnostic testing across five laboratory sites in the Waikato region and processes referred specialist testing for the wider region.

 

The Taumarunui laboratory is located at the hospital, and provides services for both hospital and community patients. The laboratory mainly processes specimens requiring Haematology and Biochemistry tests, and does limited Microbiology.

 

He aha tatou | Why us

Working with our frontline teams delivering to our communities has no great purpose. We are a team who love what we do and get to work with stakeholders who challenge and encourage us to do our best everyday
