Grants system and administration lead – Disability

My role as grants system and administration lead for the disability programme within Te Pou involves a range of tasks, such as managing the grants domain and the day to day administration operations of our disability programme.

I have worked for Te Pou previously providing project coordination and administration support on various projects including Let’s get real, Let’s get real: Disability, and the Engaging Pasifika Cultural Competency training. To date, I have worked in the disability, mental health, and public health sectors for over 15 years. In my work at Te Pou, I am excited to be a part of a driven team that is tasked with developing the disability workforce, alongside Te Pou’s wider mental health and addiction workforce development.
