Obstetrics and Gynaecology Consultant, Fixed Term Opportunity in Whangarei until December 2026

About the Role

Our department offers a full range of general Obstetrics and Gynaecology services with links to the Auckland district for Gynaecological Oncology; Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Tertiary Neonatal Care and Tertiary Fertility. Each year there are more than 2000 births in primary and secondary facilities in Northland.

As a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, you will be based at Whangārei, with visiting services across our three rural hospitals. You will be a part of a 1 : 8 roster covering acute Obstetrics and Gynaecology. You will work alongside a team of House Officers and 1-2 advanced trainees, and you will be highly involved in all acute cases providing direct hands-on patient care. Every day you will be motivated and driven to work in the public health sector, bringing a ‘can do' positive attitude.

In return we can provide a range of hands-on experience in general Obstetrics and Gynaecology, as well as opportunities to develop special interests. Our close-knit department maintains strong collegial relationships, offering plenty of teaching and learning opportunities. Many of our House Officers complete the O&G Diploma and some join the O&G registrar training programme, and we teach 5th and 6th year medical students from the University of Auckland.
