About the Team and Workplace:
Join a small, close-knit team of dedicated psychiatrists who are part of a wider network delivering high-quality mental health care across all age groups and specialist services — including maternal mental health, early psychosis, and addictions. You’ll be part of a supportive environment that values collaboration, clinical excellence, and professional growth. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the supervision and training of registrars while providing leadership to the broader clinical team.

What You Will Be Doing:
As our Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist , you’ll provide outpatient care from our Whangārei-based service as well as rural clinics across the district. You’ll be working closely with a specialist C&A Psychiatry team and maintain strong links with paediatric and child health services.
Your work will involve using broad-based, multidisciplinary approaches and collaborating with both government agencies (e.g. Oranga Tamariki, Ministry of Education) and non-government organisations to support young people and their whānau.

Who We Are Looking For: We’re seeking an experienced Psychiatrist with a passion for child and adolescent mental health. You’ll be committed to delivering holistic, compassionate care and contributing to the ongoing development of mental health services for young people in Northland.

What You Will Need to Bring:

• Eligibility for specialist (vocational) registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) in the Psychiatry vocational scope of practice.
• FRANZCP and/or postgraduate qualifications in Child and Youth Psychiatry (or near completion).
• A collaborative approach and strong communication skills to work effectively within multidisciplinary and interagency teams.
• An interest in teaching, leadership, and continuous improvement in clinical practice.

If you are currently overseas or not yet registered, we can provide support with the MCNZ application and relocation process.

Lifestyle & Setting: Based in Whangārei, you’ll enjoy life in the “Winterless North”, known for its warm climate, friendly communities, and relaxed lifestyle. The region offers excellent schools, affordable housing, and beautiful coastal areas with endless recreational opportunities. Located just a two-hour drive or 25-minute flight from Auckland, Whangārei offers the perfect balance between professional fulfillment and an exceptional quality of life.
