Nocturnist Hospitalist Position at Te Whatu Ora Tairawhiti New Zealand 1.0 FTE

Turanganui-a-Kiwa (Gisborne) is a small city of 50000 people located in the first place to see the light in the world.  The area is rich in natural beauty, surrounded by world class surf breaks and enjoys a Mediterranean climate. This is a place for those seeking a more laid back lifestyle with access to outdoor activities at the doorstep.  With no traffic lights in town, home to work to other activities is only a short distance apart so you can enjoy life outside of a commute.

The 100 bed hospital is staffed with senior and junior doctors and does the basics well.  More complex, critically ill patients are cared for at a tertiary centre.  As a nocturnist, you will work 40 hours a week 10pm-8am assisting junior doctors with admissions and acute issues. Procedural skills are required though this is not a heavy work load. Salary is based on years of experience.

If you have always dreamed of working in another country, New Zealand is a great place to be.
