Consultant ENT Surgeon
Modern Teaching Hospital, South Island
Job ref: CO1903 – Permanent Position – Start Late 2012
We are seeking to recruit a Consultant ENT Surgeon for a modern regional teaching hospital situated in a lovely South Island location famous for its stunning and majestic landscapes.
The Hospital
The Hospital caters to a population base of circa 108,000 and provides a range of services, including acute medical and surgical, outpatient clinics, day procedures, 24-hour emergency department, mental health inpatient care, medical imaging diagnostics, specialist paediatric, maternity, rehabilitation and therapy services. Due to its state-of-the-art facilities and approach to education and learning, prospective candidates are offered professionally and personally rewarding career opportunities here.
The Role
This is a generalist role where candidates will be happy performing sinus and nasal surgery. There is also an on call requirement and therefore applicants must also be comfortable with epistaxis and airway including tracheostomy. Applicants with sub-specialty interests can also be supported. The start date is negotiable, although the successful candidate must be in post by December 2012 and ideally we are seeking to make a permanent appointment, however a fixed term locum appointment (12-24 months) may also be considered.
Consultants in New Zealand are well remunerated and enjoy good working conditions and an excellent work life balance. In addition to a competitive salary, recall hours, availability allowance, Continuing Medical Education (CME) allowance, 30 days annual leave plus CME leave and monetary allowances are added to base salaries. Temporary accommodation, temporary vehicle use, flights and relocation of household effects packages can be negotiated on an individual basis.
The Location
Based in a relatively small city, candidates will have access to a variety of fantastic facilities including excellent schools, lively café culture, reasonably priced housing, as well as surrounding bush reserves and beaches which are some of the most beautiful in New Zealand. The local airport also enables direct access to other parts of the country too. Essentially, the successful candidate would have all the benefits of city life with very few of the drawbacks!
This part of New Zealand has a temperate and oceanic climate, similar to that experienced in parts of the UK.
