Are you passionate about providing quality healthcare services in rural communities? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you

We are recruiting Rural Generalists (RGs) to work across the Coast as part of our Rural Generalist Team. If you have an interest in Rural Generalism, and working across a broad clinical scope, then come join us.

**Mō mātou | About Us**

The West Coast of the South Island is a rugged, isolated and beautiful part of Aotearoa New Zealand. From Karamea in the north, to Haast in the south, the coast is the largest geographical Te Whata Ora locality, but with a small population of 32,500. Providing health care in this environment is without doubt challenging, and the team here have fully adopted a Rural Generalist Model to ensure an equitable, high level of care is delivered to our community. The Rural Generalist team is flexible, multi-disciplinary and highly skilled - joining us will provide you with a raft of experience within the framework of our community and rural hospital-based services. Outside of work, the West Coast will also challenge and amaze you - bring your tramping boots, surfboard, mountain bike and kayak - you will need them all

If you enjoy living within small rural communities or are wanting a change in lifestyle, then the West Coast is for you. For more information on the West Coast and _why_ it is such a great part of the country, you can view information here.

The Rural Generalist (RG) Team is a highly motivated and supportive group of SMOs, largely formed of DRHMNZ and RNZCGP fellows and trainees; FACEMs and FACRRMs. The flexible and multi-disciplinary nature of the Generalist model means we can offer unique career development opportunities tailored to individual clinicians.

The RG Team covers primary care, urgent care, emergency medicine, general medicine, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and obstetrics/gynaecology. The West Coast also has in-house specialists (psychiatry, anaesthetics, general surgery + O&G) and ‘TransAlpine’ partnerships with multiple specialities who support local care and tertiary transfers.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills & Experience**
- Vocational registration (e.g. FDRHMNZ or FRNZCGP). An interest in achieving dual fellowship, or on the pathway toward this, would be strongly supported by us
- Ability to gain registration with the New Zealand Medical Council
