Careers

Permanent Position or Flexible Contract. Between 0.6–1.0 FTE.

Are you a registered General Practitioner or Nurse Practitioner in New Zealand looking for a rewarding role in the beautiful Great Lake region of the central North Island?

We’re seeking an experienced clinician to join our progressive, supportive and highly collaborative team. Our practice offers the opportunity to enjoy the variety and professional satisfaction of rural healthcare, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

With a low GP/NP-to-patient ratio, you’ll have the time and support to provide high-quality, patient-centred care, including for people with complex health needs.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a multidisciplinary team, is adaptable and confident in a busy clinical environment, and is committed to supporting and mentoring others. As an active teaching practice, we place a strong emphasis on learning, professional development and sharing knowledge across the team.

The work is varied and rewarding. You’ll be involved in acute care, routine general practice, complex and long-term condition management, whānau-centred care, community-based healthcare and preventative health and wellbeing. Importantly, there are no on-call, night or weekend requirements, allowing you to make the most of everything our region has to offer outside of work.

You’ll have responsibility for your own group of patients while working closely with our experienced multidisciplinary team. We have a strong focus on quality, innovation and continuous learning, and we encourage team members to develop areas of special interest and become subject-matter experts within the practice.

Te Reo Māori capability would be highly valued, as would an interest in living at the southern end of Lake Taupō. Commuting from Taupō or surrounding communities is also an option, with opportunities for carpooling. Fellowship, or progress towards Fellowship, would be an advantage.

We offer a competitive salary package, including KiwiSaver contributions, assistance with registration fees, medical indemnity cover and practising certificate costs.

If you’re passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and whānau and are looking for a fulfilling role within a supportive and forward-thinking practice, we’d love to hear from you.

Please send your CV and cover letter to manager@pihanga.co.nz. For a confidential discussion about the role, you’re also welcome to call 07 384 7576.
