About the Role
An established urology service in Tauranga is seeking a Consultant Urologist to join a collaborative team following an upcoming departure. The service covers a population of ~450,000 across the Bay of Plenty and Lakes regions.
You’ll work within a team of five hospital-based urologists, supported by four registrars, an advanced trainee, and visiting community specialists. The role offers a broad general urology scope with flexibility to shape practice interests.
Key responsibilities include:
- General urology across elective and acute care

- Outpatient cystoscopy and transperineal procedures
- Urological oncology, particularly prostate cancer

The department is well-regarded, with access to advanced facilities including robotic surgery, and offers opportunities in teaching, research, and service development.
