About you

Exciting opportunities are available for qualified Psychiatrists (Senior Medical Officers) who want to make a positive impact while working in a dynamic, multidisciplinary, and supportive team. We are looking for Psychiatrists who are passionate about delivering quality care to our patients.

In New Zealand, Psychiatry is generally practised as a hybrid of primary and secondary care specialty, based either in an inpatient unit or in specialist community mental health teams (CMHTs). We're recruiting for all areas of speciality across the country; however, some of our most in-demand subspecialties include:

• Adult Community
• Child and Adolescent
• Early Psychosis Intervention
• Forensic
• Mental Health for the Elderly
• Maternal Mental Health
• Intellectual Disability

Positions are available across New Zealand with immediate start dates, or you can speak with our recruitment team about your plans to move to New Zealand.

To work as a Psychiatrist (Senior Medical Officer) in New Zealand, you must become registered to practice with the Medical Council of New Zealand. Practitioners must meet competency standards and hold Annual Practising Certificates (APCs) to work safely and effectively.
