We have a vacancy for an experience and skilled GP to work with this patient-centred and whanau/family -focused health provider.  You will be joining a fantastic team of highly skilled health professionals who work with a holistic health model.

The role includes working 32 – 36 hours per week (can be negotiated)

Afterhours are currently 2 weekends per 6 months

The medical practice is supported by a range of community outreach services such as tamariki (child) and whānau (family) services, smoking cessation support, physical activity for youth and nutritional advice.

The practice provides low cost access to its patient population (of around 3,750).  GPs see patients of all ages and a mix of cultures, so enjoy a real variety in their work.

The clinic is located in a newly renovated building which is light, bright and spacious, providing a warm and welcoming environment for patients and staff.

As the practice is growing, they are looking for a new, long term GP to work 4- 5 days per week, with a very small amount of afterhours required. The ideal candidate will be patient-centred, with a calm and friendly outlook and collaborative approach to patient care.

Masterton, a town of 20,000, is the centre of the rural Wairarapa district.  People choose to live here because of the excellent lifestyle choices together with first-class schooling facilities.  Whilst you can enjoy benefits of a great environment, the capital city Wellington with all its delights, is only an hour and a half drive away.

Wairarapa means “Glistening Waters” and with New Zealand’s third largest lake and miles of coastline, it’s clear to see why.  Travelling from Wellington through the Rimutaka Ranges, the beauty of the Wairarapa opens up before you, bush-clad ranges to the west across flat plains to a rugged coast on the east.  The region is known for its hot, languid summers and provides a relaxing, refined lifestyle away from the pressures of metropolitan life.

Leave the city and enter a modern style of rural life that fully embraces the pleasures of good food and fine wine!
