Development Manager We believe that everyone deserves access to the very best healthcare and have made an explicit commitment to Maori and our communities to improve equity of health and wellbeing, in accordance with Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We have also made an equity commitment to our Pasifika population.
We are not a typical Primary Health Organisation. We exist to make it easier for people to stay healthy, and you can see this in the work we do to simplify access to primary healthcare and address equity barriers. Guided by a shift towards proactive care and with a focus on wellness, we think outside the box and we're not afraid to innovate in our space! What we do each day is more than just a job, and that creates an energy which is contagious. We've created an incredible working environment full of experienced and engaged people, and due to the impending retirement of one star, we're looking for the next champion to join us as a Development Manager.
Te whiwhinga mahi: The opportunity The health reforms continue to bring change to the system and at Pinnacle, we are preparing for the future. To effect change across the network, the Development Manager will play a key role, working alongside District Managers, general practice and/or clusters of practices and extended care teams, in helping to identify, plan and deliver development projects/initiatives. You will ensure that change projects support sustainable health service delivery and are prioritised to focus on improving equity and eliminate health disparities particularly for Maori and Pasifika.
The Development Manager will be working with individual practices and with clusters of practices within a locality, across localities and with other organisations with a focus on executing, influencing, relationship building and strategic thinking. The use of run charts and other data visualisation tools will be used regularly.
The Development Manager will be responsible for applying competent skills, knowledge, and development methodologies to investigate and facilitate solutions to system challenges that improve equity, quality, safety and experience.
Reporting to the General Manager - Strategic Development, you will have a background in quality and / or business system development, change management and the ability to work with and coach teams to achieve and manage successful change.
