Regardless of whether we work directly with people using our services or support the work of the organisation in other ways, each of us makes an essential contribution to ensuring Waitemata District delivers the best care for every single person.

An exciting opportunity has become available for a Team Administrator to join our Quality and Improvement team, whilst the previous incumbent undertakes a secondment within another department.

The full-time Team Administrator role is core to our team functioning. The successful candidate will be required to work Monday to Friday from our offices at 44 Taharoto Road, Takapuna.
