About the role

Southern has an exciting opportunity for you to embark on a new challenge living in a unique and attractive location in beautiful Aotearoa.

The Southern Blood and Cancer Service provides a team of :

As such, we encourage and support staff research and their continuing medical education.

Our Service has a solid research program and we would welcome applications from Physicians with a sub-speciality interest or those with an interest in teaching.

Our service provides regional care and covers the lower South Island so you would be required to participate in outreach clinics to peripheral centers.

We believe that our dedicated and passionate staff are a significant driving force behind the achievement of our high standards, and we need more like-minded people to help us continue providing excellent care for our community.
