Te Whatu Ora – Waikato District is one of New Zealand’s largest tertiary and secondary healthcare providers. We provide tertiary services to a region of 900,000 and secondary services to a local district of 375,000, including a growing population of 82,000 children under the age of 15.  This gives us the critical mass to be able to offer significant subspecialty exposure whilst still maintaining a breadth of general paediatric experience.  Our paediatric medical team of 17 Paediatricians & 23 basic, advanced trainees and 2 fellows is the foundation of a multidisciplinary paediatric unit including a child development& child protection service, paediatric surgery and a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit.  We have a strong emphasis & excellent reputation in teaching & training, and are committed to the ongoing growth and development of our trainees.  Those with research interests enjoy on campus support from the University of Auckland’s Waikato Clinical School & the hospital’s Clinical Audit Support Unit. We are looking for enthusiastic Paediatric registrars committed to team-based patient-centred care.

We are a blend of large & small, being one of New Zealand’s largest healthcare providers, but located in a city where rural/lifestyle living is the norm.  The broader Waikato region offers an unsurpassed array of outdoor pursuits - skiing, surfing, mountain biking & fishing in lakes, rivers & sea are all available within easy striking distance.

If you are an overseas doctor, please visit the Medical Council of New Zealand website to ensure that your qualifications meet their criteria for registration to practice medicine in New Zealand.

Interested parties should apply online attaching a current CV, passport, cover letter and three references on the updated Medical Council Reference Form. Only those short listed will be contacted.
