As Regional Manager, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across the region, ensuring our people, services and resources are aligned to deliver outstanding outcomes for service users.

Working closely with clinical leaders and national teams, you'll create an environment where people can thrive, continuously improve service delivery, and build strong relationships with key stakeholders across the health and disability sectors.

This is an influential leadership role that combines operational management, people leadership, relationship management and service improvement.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and supporting multidisciplinary teams to deliver excellent customer and clinical outcomes.
• Creating a positive, high-performing and values-driven culture.
• Working with managers and clinical leaders to build workforce capability and leadership.
• Developing and maintaining strong relationships with ACC, Health NZ, iwi, community organisations and other key partners.
• Monitoring service delivery, performance, budgets and resources to ensure effective and sustainable operations.
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives that enhance customer experience and service quality.
• Supporting organisational priorities, change initiatives and strategic objectives.
• Promoting equitable access and outcomes for all service users, including Māori and Pacific peoples.

You will bring:

• Proven leadership experience in a health, disability, community, rehabilitation or service-based environment.
• Strong people leadership skills with a demonstrated ability to lead through change and develop capability.

• Sound operational and financial management capability.
• A commitment to customer-centred service delivery and continuous improvement.
• The ability to build trusted relationships across a wide range of stakeholders.
• An understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and a commitment to achieving equitable outcomes.
