Sick of the endless grind of tertiary Emergency Medicine? Want to start and end your days at the beach? Interested in a part-time role that still counts for training? 

Mō Tātou – About Us

Situated in the sunny east coast, Te Ahuru O Ruhuaariki (Whakatāne Emergency Department) serves a rural population with a catchment area up to the East Cape. We are an 18 bed department that sees ~25000 attendances/year of which more than 25% are paediatric. 

As a department we are committed to delivering equitable outcomes for Māori, culturally safe care and upholding te Tiriti. 

We are part of an organisation that has a larger base hospital, Tauranga which is approximately 90km away.

Working at Whakatāne Hospital you will be part of a small, highly skilled, and supportive team. We have access to inpatient specialist teams, but also the challenges of delivering healthcare to a rural community, in a smaller hospital.

As a training registrar, you will have bespoke rostering, with non-clinical days, 1:4 weekends and will be given the opportunity to choose a non-clinical project.
