As applications are received they will be reviewed and shortlisting may take place earlier than the advertised closing date.

We are looking to fill these positions as soon as possible so may withdraw the advert if the perfect candidate is found before the expiry date. Don't delay applying if you think you're the right fit to join the MidCentral team!

Te Whatu Ora, Health New Zealand Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua MidCentral (MidCentral) provides healthcare services to over 180,000 people across the Manawatū, Horowhenua and Tararua regions. With a large hospital campus at Palmerston North, it also provides key health care and support services to neighbouring communities.

MidCentral requires ALL its employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (including the first booster vaccination). We will not accept applications that do not meet this criteria.

MidCentral actively seeks Māori into our workforce to reflect the community we serve.

Are you an experienced Midwife who is a self-motivated learner?  

Due to the current midwifery shortage MidCentral is offering fixed term contracts 0.4 FTE (rostered/rotating shifts).  

These positions would suit midwives who cannot commit to our usual minimum of 0.6 FTE whilst they are juggling family or other commitments.  

If you have limited availability and are able to work only certain days or shifts in a preferred area then a casual position may be more beneficial to you. 

We are able to provide the flexibility of a casual contract with an added new initiative of enabling shifts to be booked weeks in advance.  

These positions will be supported by a comprehensive orientation and ongoing Midwifery Educator support.
