·             Eligibility to register in a Vocational Scope with the New Zealand Medical Council (eligibility for registration can be checked via this link Registration-self-assessment-tool)

·             Hold a current Annual Practising Certificate with the New Zealand Medical Council

In your new role you will:

·             Utilise a comprehensive skillset informed by Early Intervention Principles

·             Contribute to the clinical leadership of the team

·             Be based primarily at our Springs Road site in East Tamaki

·             Provide weekly liaison at Tiaho Mai (our award winning acute inpatient unit)
