Vacancies on the Nursing Council of New Zealand - Te Kaunihera Tapuhi o Aotearoa
October 16, 2024
About the role – Kōrero mō te tūranga
Being a member of the Council is rewarding and challenging. You will be committed to improving the health of New Zealanders, through contribution to the governance of the Council's legislative requirements. Lay members can have an expert understanding of what matters most for people receiving care from nurses or an understanding of the public interest in regulation of nurses. You will offer a different point of view from other members of the Council.
The functions of responsible authorities are set out under section 118 of the HPCA Act, and more information about the Council is available on the Council's website.
Appointments to the Council are made by the Minister of Health, Hon Dr Shane Reti, for terms of up to 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 delivering greater diversity to statutory boards and ensuring they represent the diversity in Aotearoa 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, have an understanding and are committed to meeting the obligations of the Treaty of Waitangi, to apply for these roles.
About you – Kōrero mōu
For all applicants, governance experience is a plus. It is beneficial if you demonstrated leadership at a senior level, and to balance competing demands. The role requires you to be available for scheduled formal meetings and to prioritise the work of the Council in between meetings as required.
Preferred skills and attributes for health practitioner and laypeople positions include:
- An understanding and experience in a governance role
- A knowledge of the HPCA Act and the role of the Council
- Knowledge of the nursing sector, political context and external stakeholders that the Council may interact with
- Knowledge of financial reporting, managing risk and compliance
- Experience and knowledge of te ao Māori/tikanga Māori
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 31/10/2024 and include:
- a completed declaration form (attached), and
- a covering letter, and
- a current CV.
The appointment process can be lengthy, typically taking up to six months. Your patience and professionalism as we work through the next steps is appreciated. The outcome of the recruitment process for the Council will be confirmed after it has been considered by Cabinet's Appointments and Honours Committee.
