Timaru, New Zealand Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Full time

**Te Whatu Ora-South Canterbury**

**Timaru Hospital - South Island, New Zealand**

**Permanent Role - 0.6 - 0.6 FTE**

An opportunity exists at Timaru Hospital, where you’ll enjoy a semi-autonomous role, with other general peadiatricians, developing a greater community focus all the while supported by excellent hospital infrastructure.

**Paediatric Service at Timaru Hospital**

The work involves general paediatrics in its broadest sense - from neonates to adolescents, with a large outpatient focus. This is a ‘hands on’ role and inpatient numbers are small.

With no registrars, we have junior doctors who are inspired to learn alongside a trainee intern. You will work closely with a small Child Development Team and get to know community providers well. You’ll be joining a team of skilled professionals, motivated to make a difference, while being supported by good clinical systems, including high standards of obstetric cover. There is an element of on call and weekend work.

Neonatal care is delivered in a Level 1 unit with 2 high dependency cots for stabilisation prior to transfer. We have recently built a Transitional Care Unit that offers 5 transitional care rooms for mum and baby. We have aspirations to increase this capability over the next few years. Our pediatric ward has been recently refurbished to offer 8 beds. There is excellent tertiary support for the majority of peadiatric sub-specialties within 2 hours drive.

**Health New Zealand - South Canterbury** is responsible for the delivery of services throughout the South Canterbury region and Timaru Hospital (131 beds) serves a district population of approximately 50,000 based in a General Hospital Facility, (which has just commenced a significant refurbishment programme), providing our local community with such critical 24/7 services as ED, ICU/CCU, General, Orthopaedic, & ENT Surgery, O&G, Psychiatry, Geriatrics, Oncology & Palliative Care, Internal Medicine and Paediatrics.

Integrity, collaboration, accountability, respect and excellence are at the heart of everything we do. We are a proudly diverse team, as we know a diverse and inclusive workforce achieves the best outcomes for our patients and communities. If you in these core values and bring them into every aspect of your patient care.

**Why Timaru and the South Canterbury region?**

We are the best big little city you will find, located on the coast and Caroline Bay, with the majestic Southern Alps in the back-ground. Timaru is an easy place to live, family friendly and with easy access to an array of outdoor activities - beaches, ski fields, lakes, mountains, and hiking tracks.

Free parking and an easy commute to work really helps with true work life balance
