About the Role
Come be a part of this important kaupapa and make this rare leadership role your own!
We are inviting health professionals to join us for an exciting leadership opportunity. Whether you are a trained practitioner, experienced registered mental health clinician, or someone who has been in non-clinical roles and has a strong knowledge of Primary Care and the Integrated Primary Mental Health & Addictions programme, with demonstrated leadership skills, we'd like to hear from you!
Exciting and fulfilling role - focused on improving the health and wellbeing of our community, especially Maori, Pasifika and youth.
Excellent leadership development opportunity - working alongside very experienced clinicians and senior managers.

Permanent full-time role based at Rosedale - with occasional travel to our head office in Parnell, and flexibility to travel across different general practice locations as required would be essential.
This role is part of the innovative programme Te Tumu Waiora (TTW) which has been part of a large scale up over the past 5 years. The way in which we support the mental health and wellbeing of New Zealanders is evolving and changing; for the better. The TTW programme has a huge emphasis that is placed on reducing barriers to accessing services and to embedding a skills-based behavioural approach within primary care - empowering people to lead their own physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing.
The programme is now moving into the next phase which is Business as Usual (BAU) - with a focus on embedding the model successfully and increasing reach and impact.

You will be a member of the wider Fresh Minds TTW team leads, ensuring that patient services are delivered in accordance with evidence-based best practice and dealing with any escalated matters as they arise, with responsibility for implementing the clinical quality, safety, risk management, and achievement of key performance indicators across the service.
