You’ll juggle rosters and make the jigsaw work for everyone, our team and our whaiora. - As the hub of urgent communication, your calm, clear thinking will set the tone for everyone. - You’ll nurture positive relationships with our referring partners. - You have a high attention to detail, can track patterns, spot gaps, flag concerns, and close tasks efficiently and on time. - You have confidence in using AI and tech - In this role, you’ll be part of a rotating roster that includes daytime shifts in our Palmerston North office, as well as overnight and weekend on-call hour. We’re screening for: - Full NZ driver’s licence - Relevant experience in coordination, people management, or the mental health/disability sector - Will require a police vetting and OT vetting check If you’re successful, you’ll likely be someone who: - Remains calm under pressure and able to think clearly on the fly - Strong problem-solver who sees steps ahead and adjusts as needed - Knows the importance of professional boundaries - Personable, warm, and confident communicating with people and over the phone - Brings fun and personality to their mahi - Emotionally intelligent with healthy boundaries, supports self and others - Tech-savvy: Outlook, calendar management, MS Office, databases, and digital systems - Organised and detail-focused: nothing slips through the cracks - Experienced in fast-paced care environments (mental health, disability, youth support, or similar) - Collaborative: comfortable asking for help and working with the team - Flexible: Must be available for rostered shifts plus on-call evenings and weekends.
