Rural Generalist – West Coast | Permanent Full time Meaningful work. Unmatched lifestyle. Join a passionate and flexible Rural Generalist Team. Ehara taku i toa takitahi engari, he toa takitini – My strength is not the strength of one, it is the strength of many. Are you passionate about providing quality healthcare services in rural communities? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you! This employer is grounded in the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and is committed to building a health system that serves all New Zealanders. About the Role We are recruiting Rural Generalists (RGs) to work across the Coast as part of our highly skilled and supportive team. If you’re interested in Rural Generalism and want to work across a broad clinical scope, this is the opportunity for you. You’ll provide care across a diverse range of settings – including urgent care, emergency medicine, primary care, inpatient medicine, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and obstetrics/gynaecology. You’ll be supported by in-house specialists (psychiatry, anaesthetics, general surgery, O&G) and backed by TransAlpine partnerships for tertiary support.

If you enjoy autonomy, variety, and the ability to make a real difference, you’ll thrive here. About the Team / Service / Location The West Coast of the South Island is rugged, isolated, and absolutely stunning.

Delivering healthcare in this environment can be challenging, which is why we’ve fully embraced a Rural Generalist Model – to ensure equitable, high-level care is available to all. The Rural Generalist Team is a flexible, multi-disciplinary group made up of DRHMNZ and RNZCGP fellows and trainees, FACEMs, and FACRRMs. They offer career development tailored to your aspirations and support those working toward dual fellowship. Outside of work, the Coast is a natural playground – you’ll want your tramping boots, surfboard, mountain bike and kayak, because you’ll use them all! About You You’ll be someone who is collaborative, adaptable, and committed to providing the best possible care in a rural setting. You will also have: Employer They are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce so they can best serve the communities they work in. We welcome applications from our Māori, Pacific, disabled and rainbow communities and value what you uniquely bring.
