Ehara taku i toa takitahi engari, he toa takitini - My strength is not the strength of one, it is the strength of many.

Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora is grounded in the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and is committed to building a health system that serves all New Zealanders.

About the Role

We are recruiting Rural Generalists (RGs) to work across the Coast as part of our highly skilled and supportive team. If you - re interested in Rural Generalism and want to work across a broad clinical scope, this is the opportunity for you.

You - ll provide care across a diverse range of settings - including urgent care, emergency medicine, primary care, inpatient medicine, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and obstetrics/gynaecology.

About the Team / Service / Location

The West Coast of the South Island is rugged, isolated, and absolutely stunning. Stretching from Karamea in the north to Haast in the south, we - re the largest geographical Te Whatu Ora locality, with a population of just 32,500. Delivering healthcare in this environment can be challenging, which is why we - ve fully embraced a Rural Generalist Model - to ensure equitable, high-level care is available to all.

Our Rural Generalist Team is a flexible, multi-disciplinary group made up of DRHMNZ and RNZCGP fellows and trainees, FACEMs, and FACRRMs. We offer career development tailored to your aspirations and support those working toward dual fellowship.

Outside of work, the Coast is a natural playground - you - ll want your tramping boots, surfboard, mountain bike and kayak, because you - ll use them all!


About You

You - ll be someone who is collaborative, adaptable, and committed to providing the best possible care in a rural setting. You will also have:

  • Vocational registration (e.g., FDRHMNZ or FRNZCGP) or be on the pathway to dual fellowship
  • Eligibility for registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand
  • A genuine interest in the broad scope of Rural Generalist practice
  • A desire to contribute to community-focused, equity-driven healthcare
  • A passion for working in smaller, close-knit rural communities
