About SSC
New Zealand’s State services are highly regarded internationally. We consistently do well in measurements of trust, integrity and general performance. While we are good, we won’t settle for anything less than great. The State Services Commission is leading a once in a generation transformation to those services that really matter to New Zealanders.
Working for the State Services Commission means being at the heart of government – influencing and driving change. Our challenge is to deliver high performing state services – working as one across the Public and State sector – to achieve results.
We do a variety of things, from ensuring integrity and conduct of the State sector system, through to identifying and developing future leaders. We also employ public service chief executives and oversee the performance of the system as a whole.
If you want to be a leader amongst leaders and truly make a difference for New Zealand then think about joining us – it’s an exciting time to be part of the State Services Commission.

• helping executive teams develop plans to embed and sustain Continuous improvement processes – both within their own agencies and across others
