The Ministry of Health – Manatū Hauora (the Ministry) is seeking candidates who wish to be considered for appointment as health practitioner OR layperson members of the New Zealand Psychologist Board – Te Te Poari Kaimātai Hinengaro o Aotearoa (the Board), a responsible authority under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (the HPCA Act). The purpose of the Board is to protect the health and safety of members of the public by ensuring that health practitioners are fit and competent to practice.
About the role | Kōrero mō te tūranga
Being a member of the Board is rewarding and challenging. You will be committed to improving the health of New Zealanders, through contribution to the governance of the Board's legislative requirements.
The functions of responsible authorities are set out under section 118 of the HPCA Act. More information about the Board is available in the attached terms of reference and on the Board's website.
Appointments to the Board are made by the Associate Minister of Health, Matt Doocey, typically for terms of three years. Members can be reappointed for up to nine consecutive years.
The Ministry recognises that diversity enables our boards and councils to be high-performing and is committed to ensuring they represent the diversity in New Zealand's population, including gender, ethnicity, disability, age and geographic location. The Ministry encourages people from all backgrounds, especially those who can reflect the needs, values, and beliefs of Māori, and have an understanding of and are committed to meeting the obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi, to apply for these roles.
About you | Kōrero mōu
For all applicants, governance and/or regulatory experience is a plus but not required. It is beneficial if you have the ability to lead strategically, and to balance competing demands. In this instance, we are particularly looking to receive applications from candidates that can represent the perspectives of Māori, Pacific people, and people with lived experience of a disability.
Preferred skills and attributes for health practitioner and laypeople positions include:

have strong governance experience
a background in law
expertise in finance and accounting
be able to represent community and consumer interests
be familiar with relevant legislation

Health practitioner applicants must be a registered psychologist and have a good understanding of the scope of practice, competencies and code of ethics or conduct.
Under section 5 of the HPCA Act, laypeople applicants cannot be qualified or registered as health practitioners.
Please note that members of a responsible authority board cannot simultaneously be a member of the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal (the Tribunal) given the disciplinary function of the Tribunal over health practitioners.
How to apply | Me pēhea te tono
Applications must be made using the Ministry of Health online Career Centre by close of business 10/11/2024, and include:

a completed declaration form (attached), and
a covering letter, and
a current CV.
