Inspire a team of academic professionals to achieve teaching and research excellence. Oversee the operational and academic success of the programme, ensuring it meets the needs of students, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies. You'll be someone who can handle both Nursing Council compliance and educational compliance and management. 

Recruit, mentor, and support a team of exceptional educators. Foster a culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation. Develop strong relationships with nursing colleagues, professional bodies, and stakeholders. Actively engage with Māori and Pasifika representatives to ensure cultural integrity and responsiveness.
