From Whangarei to Dargaville or the Bay of Islands to Kaitaia, there's nothing routine about working in Northland. Providing healthcare in such a natural and rugged environment provides everyday challenges – but that's what makes a career here so special. And, we're lucky enough to enjoy everything this action-packed region has to offer at the end of the day.

Northland DHB is committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and holds stewardship for equitable health outcomes for Māori as Tāngata Whenua as the highest priority.

Start your journey with Northland DHB - right now we are looking for an exceptional Registered Health Clinician with experience working in the AOD area, and is passionate about making a difference.

If you enjoy working in Substance Abuse Treatment, facilitating programmes, intervention and peer support groups, are a registered practitioner – nurse, social worker, DAPAANZ etc., and hold a current practicing certificate and drivers licence, we would love to hear from you. 

Experience working in a rural or community setting would be an advantage, as would an appreciation of Māori culture and understanding of Tikanga.

A career with Northland DHB will see you action meaningful change in the region we love, and in your professional development – all whilst enjoying everything the stunning North has to offer. You really can enjoy the best of both.
