When you think about New Zealand, what may come to mind is our enormous outdoor adventure playground, the beauty of our lakes and mountains, or the long sandy white beaches with barely a soul in sight.
You may also think that jobs for doctors are mostly in the main centres of Auckland, Wellington Christchurch or Dunedin.
The reality is that we currently have a number of positions in our regional centres, where the lifestyle is laid back and the cost of living is low. The beauty of living and working in small town New Zealand is that you will gain a sense of balance between work and family life whilst doing what you love. You’ll also be close to all that you dream of; with lakes, rivers, mountains, beaches and wineries on your doorstep.
Coromandel
Renowned for its natural beauty - rural farmland, misty rainforests and pristine golden beaches, The Coromandel is blessed with hundreds of natural hideaways, making it an ideal place to escape, relax and unwind (taken from http://www.thecoromandel.com/) . Thames is nestled in the heart of the Coromandel and you’d be living and working in one of the most beautiful and relaxed places in NZ.
Taupo
Sitting in the middle of the North Island, on the edge of Lake Taupo, this town is a thriving tourism hub and close to many of New Zealand’s great sites and activities. Whether you enjoy skiing, fishing, boating, or hiking, you’ll find it all in Taupo. Visit http://www.greatlaketaupo.com/ for more about the Taupo lifestyle.
Northland
You will be spellbound by the magic of the Northland region; an area where you are never more than 30 minutes from the most glorious beaches and coastline you can imagine. Many people live at the beach and easily commute to work. In summer everyone flocks to Northland with their caravans and boats and the holiday vibe makes it a fantastic place to be.
