We have locum and permanent roles available on New Zealand's west coast. Get ready to immerse yourself in an untamed and natural wilderness. Visit the world's most accessible glaciers, and wander ancient rainforests - surrounded by mountains with beaches not far away you'll feel as if you've escaped to a natural paradise filled with wonders. If that wasn't enough, the bustling CBD of Christchurch is only a 3 hour's drive.
Experience nature like never before. Franz Josef Glacier is five kilometres from the town of the same name, and a 1.5 hour walk will take you to within 750m of its terminal face.
The West Coast is known for its dramatic and stunning beaches. Get amongst the waves (be sure to pack a wetsuit because it is cold), stroll along the shores, or enjoy a bite to eat at the many beachside cafes.
The West Coast region is teeming with natural wonders. Spend your days off exploring heritage listed rainforests, gorges, lakes, wild rivers, and rugged mountains.

Medrecruit has the largest network of jobs in Australia and New Zealand, double the next largest agency. This provides you with the highest chance of getting the right role, and our scale provides you with a hiring advantage as many employers come to us exclusively before going to market.
We make the process as easy as possible. Some agencies have recruiters do everything. However, one person can’t be the best at all functions so we have specialist teams, combined with technology, to make each stage of the process as smooth as humanly possible.
In 2017, Our founder, Dr Sam Hazledine successfully lobbied the World Medical Association to amend the Declaration of Geneva (the modern-day Hippocratic Oath) to include: I WILL ATTEND to my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.
