Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand is embarking on a transformation process as its support base grows, and to meet the challenges of a constantly changing world.
‘These are new and exciting times for us,” says Director Julianne Hickey. “We’ve been engaged for a year in reviewing our structures and processes – with all staff involved, and the support of the New Zealand Bishops and our Board.”
Hickey says that the restructure “will enable Caritas to engage in a fuller and more lively way with the Catholic community and wider New Zealand society.”
“We are now ready to put in place new structures and ways of working that will allow us to be more focused on our core priorities; more accountable to our Bishops, donors and supporters; and more agile in responding to the complex challenges and needs of our world today.”
Currently, Caritas is recruiting for three new senior managers to lead its Development, Community Engagement and Operations Support teams.
An Advocacy and Research Manager is already in place. The three new managers are expected to be appointed by early in the new year, after which other permanent roles will be filled.
Echoing Pope Benedict’s words, Hickey says, ‘We are seeking people who are not only “professionally competent” and “properly trained in what to do” but also people who have a “heartfelt concern”.’
