Are you an Otorhinolaryngologist looking for a new opportunity?

Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua | MidCentral (previously MidCentral District Health Board) wishes to recruit an Otorhinolaryngologist for a full time (1 FTE), permanent position.

The ideal applicant will have general Otorhinolaryngology experience with a subspecialist interest in Head and Neck Surgery. The applicants will support the remaining consultant team who currently provide subspecialty Otological and Head and Neck surgery.

This position is based at Palmerston North Hospital , a 350 bed hospital in the city of Palmerston North, Manawatu, a city in the Lower North Island of New Zealand.

The collegial relationships between departments are strong and consultation with other specialists is easy, either formally with multidisciplinary meetings or informally as required. There is an active postgraduate medical society and there are excellent clinical library facilities. The Otorhinolaryngology department currently participates in fortnightly radiology and head and neck MDT meetings and monthly thyroid MDT and pathology meetings. The department hosts a monthly half day regional CDP meeting with otorhinolaryngologists attending from Whanganui, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay.

What can we offer you?

  • A diverse, dynamic and collegial team environment
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities
  • Six weeks annual leave per annum
  • 10 paid days per annum available for continued medical education including a generous allowance towards costs of course and travel
