Everyone at Corrections has a contribution to make towards achieving a reduction in re-offending and making New Zealand a safer place to be.

To operate in a joined-up and responsive manner the Department of Corrections has a One Team structure that enables teams to work together effectively. It is made up of five Groups led by a Chief Executive and Executive Leadership Team:

• Chief Executive Ray Smith
• Deputy Chief Executive Christine Stevenson
• General Manager Corrections Services Brendan Anstiss
• General Manager Finance, Technology & Commercial Jeremy Lightfoot
• General Manager Governance & Assurance Graeme Carruthers
• General Manager Human Resources Vince Arbuckle
• General Manager Service Development Jo Field

The Executive Leadership Team works together to provide a clear and unified vision for Corrections. They lead by example, demonstrating strong leadership and inspiring us all to contribute directly to our priorities of reducing re-offending, improving public safety, better public value and visible leadership.

Working with the Regional Managers, the Executive Leadership Team sets direction, develops our strategy and business plans.
