General Practitioner (GP) – New Plymouth
Job Description
This creates an excellent opportunity for an incoming doctor to step into an established patient list, providing continuity of care rather than having to build a patient base from scratch.
The practice is ideally looking for a GP who can work approximately 6–8 sessions per week, with some flexibility available around days and hours for the right doctor.
The Opportunity
This is a long-term position within a well-established community practice where continuity of care and strong patient relationships are genuinely valued.
You'll work alongside an experienced primary care team and have the support needed to settle into the practice and take over an existing patient population.
The role offers:
Approximately 6–8 sessions per week
Monday–Friday working week
Attractive hourly rate
No regular weekend requirement
Flexibility around working days
Experienced nursing support
Established reception and practice management team
Opportunity to develop or continue areas of special clinical interest
Long-term career stability
Employee or Contractor
The practice is open to discussing either an employee or independent contractor arrangement, depending on the doctor's preferred way of working.
Remuneration will be negotiated individually based on experience, registration status, number of sessions and the agreed arrangement.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a GP who enjoys traditional family medicine, values continuity of care and would like to become a long-term member of both the practice and local community.
We welcome enquiries from:
Vocationally registered New Zealand GPs
FRNZCGP-qualified doctors
General registered GPs
GPs progressing through vocational training in New Zealand
New Zealand doctors considering returning home from overseas
Why New Plymouth?
New Plymouth offers a fantastic combination of career and lifestyle.
With the Taranaki coastline on one side and Mount Taranaki on the other, you'll have easy access to beaches, walking and cycling trails, national parks and outdoor activities while still living in a well-serviced regional city.
For doctors looking to move away from the pace and commute of a major metropolitan centre without giving up quality healthcare facilities, schools, restaurants and everyday amenities, New Plymouth offers an attractive alternative.
