The Location
Newcastle is a regional city about two hours drive north of Sydney. It is also a busy port exporting produce from the nearby Hunter Valley and north west NSW. Despite the industrial side to the city, there are some great surfing beaches nearby and some attractive buildings around the city itself.
There are plenty of shopping complexes, several museums as well as an art gallery, which are worth visiting and plenty of other things to do. Nearby there are also a number of nature reserves which are very beautiful offering bushwalking and the chance to see a variety of wildlife. Stockton Beach runs along the coast to Port Stephens and is backed by the wonderful and beautiful sand dunes.
Newcastle has a lively entertainment scene and plenty of good restaurants. Good transport links to Sydney, an airport and good educational facilities make Newcastle a very good option to live, work and play in.
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 (you can read what people have said about working with us on our testimonials page). 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.
