Resident Doctor
3 days ago
Head Medical have rotational opportunities suited to post foundation doctors located in South Canterbury.
You will be based in Timaru, located on New Zealand's South Island - a great location where you can explore some of NZ's most beautiful locations including Wanaka, Cardrona, the Akaroa Peninsula, and the National Parks, as well as the local Caroline Bay Beach in Timaru.
5-10 minute commute to the office Great schools, affordable housing and a safe community Explore the South Island at the weekends– Queenstown, Cardrona, Wanaka, Akaroa Peninsula, Christchurch, the Trans Alpine train journey, Franz Josef Glacier, Te Anau, Milford Sound and so much more in between
Relocation assistance provided when you commit to a 12 month contract term Salary $97,830 -$126,150 NZD (depending on experience) The Role Timaru Hospital (133 beds, catchment population 62,000) is small but busy, employing approximately 950 people and delivers a range of inpatient, outpatient and community services to a regional population of 55,000.
The hospital is small and by necessity most senior clinicians across the medical specialities are generalists with some subspecialty interests.
The Hospital is an ideal size in that you see a variety of cases, yet it is small enough that you will get to know the wider staff and have ample time to spend with your clients.
As there are no Registrars, you will work with Consultants on a one to one which provides a unique and diverse learning experience.
Rotations available: General Medicine Relief Emergency Medicine The Location Timaru is situated right on the Pacific Ocean and is surrounded by the magnificent Southern Alps, with the stunning South Island Lakes (Tekapo, Pukaki, Aviemore, Benmore) an easy drive away.
Slightly further south is Lake Wanaka, Cardrona, and the famous resort town of Queenstown - all handy for a weekend getaway with family and friends.
It has long been viewed as a friendly, safe place to raise a family.
The district has excellent primary and secondary schools.
Real estate remains affordable with various options depending on your lifestyle needs.
As well as being surrounded by a number of picturesque towns and smaller rural settlements, Timaru is equidistant from the major university cities of Dunedin and Christchurch, both cities being an easy 2 hour drive away.
South Canterbury has a temperate, moderate climate with consistently high sunshine hours.
They may have snow in winter (great for skiing)
but they also have gloriously hot summers (great for beaches
), this makes it ideal for exploring the many bike trails, mountain walks and beaches in your leisure time.
The local Timaru Airport has regular daily flights to Wellington International Airport (and NZ's capital city), making travel in/around regional NZ very easy, as well as providing great access to international flights connections to/from NZ.
What Head Medical can do for you Arranging a position overseas is very exciting, but we understand that it can also be daunting and time consuming.
We're the UK's specialist in international medical recruitment and we've helped many Doctors relocate since we first started out in 2008.
We know it's important to balance career opportunities with lifestyle and we'll talk through your plans and will get to know you to make sure we find the right role in the right location.
Once we have secured a job for you, we'll manage the Medical Registration and Visa application process, and support you (and your family) with the relocation itself.
