This is an exciting opportunity to lead the Integrity, Ethics and Standards group and make a positive difference for NZ and New Zealanders.

The Integrity, Ethics and Standards group leads the Public Service in preserving, protecting, and nurturing the spirit of service to the community, and promoting public trust and confidence through the delivery of transparent, trusted, and high-integrity public services. We support public service values, promote open government, provide guidance and advice on a broad range of integrity matters and set standards of conduct and behaviour.  As part of this, we also lead the Commission's investigations and inquiries function, under the Public Sector Act.
