Placed, paid and supported

Doctors we've placed — from first locum shift to permanent post.

I was as passionate about medicine as anyone could be. But the journey through medicine can be gruelling and it's long. It's very, very long.

Dr Eva Rosenbaum

doctor, paramedic, adventurer

Efficient, friendly and take the time to understand needs. Have enjoyed the relationship working with everyone.

Amanda McIntyre

St George Private Hospital, Kogarah, NSW

Friendly helpful staff who try to fit in with your working needs. Excellent company. I probably should have done it when I was younger rather than spend many years at the one hospital.

Peter Clements

Registrar, Emergency Medicine

I was as passionate about medicine as anyone could be. But the journey through medicine can be gruelling and it's long. It's very, very long.

Frequently asked questions about doctor jobs in Timaru

Common questions from doctors searching for their next role in Timaru.

MCNZ (Medical Council of New Zealand) registered doctors have a plethora of opportunities available for them to find both permanent and locum positions. If you are an Australian-trained doctor, you can work in New Zealand by obtaining MCNZ registration, and we are here to support you throughout this process. If you're looking for New Zealand jobs for foreign doctors who obtained their primary medical degree from medical schools overseas, it is beneficial to have at least 12 months of experience in a comparable health system such as the UK or Ireland. Working in New Zealand as an internationally trained doctor involves navigating certain pathways and considering specific restrictions. However, rest assured that we are well-versed in these processes and can guide you accordingly. Our goal is to simplify the process and help you embark on a successful medical career in beautiful New Zealand.
