Resident Doctors - Rotations - Picturesque Timaru

Details of the offer

Head Medical is seeking post-foundation doctors for rotational roles based in the scenic town of Timaru, South Canterbury. These positions provide a unique blend of professional development and lifestyle, set against the stunning backdrop of one of New Zealand's most beautiful regions. 5-10 minute commute to the office 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! February / March 2025 commencement - 12 month contract Salary $106,672 - $121,920 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 specialties 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. You will work with consultants on a one to one which provides a unique and diverse learning experience. Rotations available: General Medicine General Surgery 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, Cardona, 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.
