• Contribute to reducing avoidable hospital admissions through accessible community-based healthcare.
• Maintain accurate clinical records and documentation in accordance with professional standards.
• Participate in a supportive, team-based approach focused on delivering positive patient outcomes.

What You Will Bring

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• Registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand and a current Annual Practising Certificate, or eligibility for registration.
• Experience working as a General Practitioner within primary care.
• Strong clinical assessment, diagnostic, and decision-making skills.
