We're on a mission to ensure that our schedules are not just documented, but consistently tracked with full visibility of every phase and demand.

Working closely with our teams and stakeholders, you'll make sure that any risks or issues that might affect our schedules are addressed promptly and effectively.

Your role will involve diving into data from various programmes and projects – from requirements to schedules, risks, changes, and resource plans – to understand their impact on resource demand and schedule capability across our Portfolio. You'll play a crucial part in deciding how our people resources are allocated, both in the short and long term, and ensuring a balanced resource demand throughout the Portfolio.

As a valued member of our Digital Platforms Delivery team, you will be the go-to person for providing a management view of forecasted workforce capacity and capability across DES. Your insights will be vital in producing demand and supply reports that guide resource planning and sourcing decisions. Plus, you'll help us predict monthly labour costs and recoveries, keeping our operations running smoothly and efficiently.

Ko te mahi e tika ana mō te ao hurihuri nei | Work that suits today's ever-changing world

Te Whatu Ora supports flexible and hybrid working for our kaimahi. In roles that don't require an in-person element, we encourage you to ‘work from where you are.' We want our national teams to be made up of diverse people from across the motu, just like our health system.

Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai |Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

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.
