Mōu ake - About you

You will need to have excellent administration and coordination skills and be ready to manage your own portfolio of work, and be interested in rostering and growing relationships. This is a busy professional office so you will need to enjoy being part of a team that works together as well as independently to achieve goals. Maybe you are looking for something a bit different where you can apply your outstanding time and process management and leadership skills to great advantage. In addition, you can be part of making a real difference to the health of our communities!

Our ideal candidate will:

• enjoy working with and leading others
• love meeting deadlines and tend to thrive when the pressure comes on even when you have a number of other activities vying for your attention
• have a high level of accuracy, judgment and maintaining confidentiality
• be a fast learner who retains knowledge as well as anticipating roadblocks
• have the ability to build rapport and trust with fellow employees

If all that sounds exciting then read on because we are open to your background - it might be travel, general admin or team coordination in sales or marketing, or resourcing, or you might be a graduate looking for a role to get your teeth into within the fascinating field of health.

While the role is based in Invercargill, there will be the need for occasional travel to Dunedin to connect with the wider team.
