Please note: House Officer positions commencing from August 2011 have now been filled and we are unable to accept further applications.
Annual Recruitment 2012
Applications to our annual recruitment campaign open on this website on 1 May 2011.
Application guidelines:
- You can apply for positions in more than one area/specialty.
- You can apply for a House Officer position as well as a Registrar position.
- It is possible to apply for a Junior Registrar position after two years as a House Officer.
- It is NOT possible to apply for Senior Registrar positions in the following specialties: Colorectal Surgery, Dermatology, General Surgery (Advanced), Orthopaedics, Paediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Radiology, Urology and Vascular Surgery.
These positions are reserved for training registrars in the relevant Australasian colleges.
Each position will be advertised on this website as a separate vacancy. You will need to submit a separate application for each position you choose to apply for. As there will be a large number of vacancies listed, please ensure you apply for the correct position/s.
Note: You must be eligible for registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand under the General or Provisional General Scope of Practice. Applications from those who are eligible under another scope of practice cannot be accepted.
In New Zealand, the term SHO refers to a House Officer in their third year of experience or higher. The CDHB does not differentiate between levels of House Officer positions, and therefore does not have positions which are designated as SHO positions.
Basic registrar positions in Surgery and General Medicine involve rotating through the various specialties. Those appointed are asked for their rotation preferences.
