ABOUT US…

Health New Zealand Auckland region encompasses providing services to Auckland Te Toka Tumai, Waitematā and Counties Manukau Districts along with some recruitment and allocation support to Northland Te Tai Tokerau.
Our Workforce Operations teams are focused on supporting the District Hospitals to recruit, retain and support employment and training of the RMO (junior doctor) workforce to fill their needs now and into the future. This includes activities from recruitment through to daily operations support on site at the hospital, and all employment administration, support and planning in between.
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.
When you join us, you become part of transforming the health system. This is a once in a life-time change, that will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa, and future generations. We want to see the real you in your application and welcome the real you on board if you come and work with us. Skills are gained across many areas of our life, not just in formal employment. If you can demonstrate the skills listed in the ad, but the experience was gained through whānau life, community or mahi aroha (volunteering) we encourage you to apply and share your story with us in your cover letter. We particularly welcome applications from our diverse Māori, Pacific, disabled, and rainbow communities.
You must be eligible to work in New Zealand to be considered for this opportunity. All applications will be acknowledged by email and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews.
