New Zealand is a small country with majestic landscapes and beautiful coastlines, which retains its sense of community spirit and a clean, green international profile. Kiwis are passionate about sports, the arts and music, and the laidback lifestyle has great appeal for urban sophisticates, outdoor enthusiasts and families, whatever you’re into. At Head Medical, we have helped GPs relocate to New Zealand for nearly 6 years. Our range of positions are about to grow so now is a really good time to discuss what you would like to do and where you would like to go to maximise your choice of opportunities. There are lots of reasons to live and work in New Zealand. Here are our top 3! Personal: It’s obviously a big decision to move both yourself and any family overseas for a year but it should be relatively simple to secure housing, additional employment and make schooling arrangements before you arrive and, while many do wait until their dependants have moved on, it can often be extremely beneficial for children to participate in the sabbatical or long term experience as well. Professional: Open and honest communication with your current employer/institution is key but, if you plan a sabbatical with specific objectives and ensure your chosen location compliments these, then it should certainly have a positive impact from both an academic and career perspective. Practical: Medical registration and visa applications for New Zealand are much cheaper than Australia and can take as little as 2 months for GPs and 4-5 months for Consultants and the process can be managed by our dedicated in-house team here at Head Medical. We are also able to provide support and advice in relation to financial matters such as salary negotiations, local taxes and insurance requirements. We recruit to both permanent and fixed term roles (6 months minimum), spanning the length and breadth of NZ, in tertiary referral centres, district general hospitals and small semi-rural hospital settings. NZ employers offer professionally rewarding roles in modern and spacious working environments, with competitive salaries and a commitment to continuing medical education, as well as an opportunity for you to really contribute and help shape a vital public health service. You do not need to have MRCGP to work in New Zealand. There are lots of countries comparable with their medical system. The medical registration and immigration processes are straightforward for Doctors with qualifications from comparable countries and our Licensed Immigration Adviser and Recruitment Consultants will support and assist you all the way through.
