Mary Wills

Social Services General Manager

“PSEC has great staff who are all in for our tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau. Our teams get to see better lives, stronger communities, and feel hopeful every day.”

Mary is the General Manager of our Family Works child and family services as well as Enliven older people and disability services. These services enable Presbyterian Support East Coast teams to work together closely and be responsive across the spectrum of our communities needs.

Mary has worked with community services for 29 years in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, including with social services, city councils, ACC and health services. 

Particular interests are developing staff and services to respond to the changing needs of our local communities and using resources effectively to improve health and wellbeing. This means having systems in place to listen to services users and whānau so we question and improve what we do.

Mary holds a Master of Public Health, Master of Management in Community Management and a Bachelor of Commerce.
