General Physician New Zealand

This is a full-time 1.0 FTE role with on-call duties. You are joining a team that values kindness and collaboration, with a view to the future of healthcare. As an introduction, we provide care for a population of approximately 350,000 spread over the lower South Island of New Zealand. Our staff enjoys close relationships with the University of Otago, School of Medicine, and Otago Polytechnic School of Nursing. We benefit from continuous professional development, involvement with medical and nursing student training, participation in research, and many more opportunities arising from working in a combined clinical-academic environment. Currently we are a team of ten and there is equal participation in the after-hour roster for weeknights and weekends, and at times you will be a second on-call on the roster. Our tight-knit team values the importance of creating a work environment that is welcoming, safe, equitable, and inclusive; therefore, it is key for you to have a sound understanding of and commitment to multi-cultural living and family/whanau principles. These core values align with our work and life practices and team well-being. Duties include patient management, leading ward rounds, undertaking clinical procedures, involvement audit, teaching, undertaking research, and participating in continuing professional development. However, life is for living and Otago is an amazing place to live; we also work closely with our team to ensure the achievement of good work/life balance. It is a great little city with a big town feel and is well-known for its Southern Hospitality. Outside of work, you will find life here to be very easy with its great schools, laid-back lifestyle, and world-famous wildlife on the Otago Peninsula. This compact yet vibrant regional city has plenty of energy, which is to be expected with it being a University town. This sustains great activities.
