Our client has an exciting and rare opportunity to join a small regional hospital on the beautiful South Island of New Zealand.
About the role and location:
This position would suit an Emergency Medicine Specialist who is keen to make a real difference in a smaller community and location.
The role is based in a community owned trust hospital, offering a range of public and private integrated services, including 20 inpatient beds, a 24/7 Emergency Department, maternity services, Gore Health Centre GP practice, dental clinic, specialist outpatient clinics, Allied and Community Health services, MoleMap, lab, radiology, and Mobile Surgical Services. Gore Health services a population of approximately 20,000.
The ED is staffed by Nurse Practitioners and Physician Associates (USA trained). It is a rural level 2 ED that is funded to stabilise and transfer patients to the tertiary base hospitals in Invercargill and Dunedin. Current Specialists / Consultants there cover both ED and Inpatients. However, the employer can be flexible if you only want to cover the ED or the Ward, but must be open to at least one night shift per week/fortnight.
Along with your salary, they will contribute $10,000 NZD to your relocation assistance, and generous CME allowance up to $16,000 dollars per annum for a full time position.
They will provide you with a company vehicle for full personal use, provide accommodation rent free for the first 8 weeks, and you can then choose to stay on as tenants thereafter if you like or choose somewhere else you`d like to rent. They have a Clinical Director who is vocationally registered as a Rural Hospital Medicine specialist, as well as a part time vocationally registered FACEM, so supervision arrangements while meeting licensing requirements won`t be an issue and can be fully provided.
Gore is a charming town nestled in the heart of the Southland, New Zealand. Here, amidst the breathtaking landscapes and friendly locals, you'll find an idyllic lifestyle. Nestled on the banks of the Mataura River, the Gore district is a vibrant multi-cultural rural community with a population of just over 12,000. With its close proximity to lakes, mountains, forests, rivers, and the sea, Gore is the ideal place to live, work and play. It`s a family friendly town and situated in a stunning landscape. It is perfect for people who like an outdoor lifestyle and perhaps want a slower pace of life. Gore is also known for its country music scene and hosts an annual country music festival.
