About the role
As a Permanent Full-Time Radiologist. You'll manage a broad diagnostic caseload including ultrasound, MRI, CT with the option to undertake light interventional and mammography work. Serving a community of around 47,000, your time will be split as 70% clinical (inpatient, emergency, outpatient imaging) and 30% non-clinical, with on‑call duties (typically one in four nights, from home). Responsibilities include interpreting scans, triaging and protocolising requests, consulting with clinicians, and supporting radiology techs. You’ll also engage in teaching local medical staff and registrars, and collaborate with leadership to develop new imaging services and quality improvement. You will also have the opportunity to participate in the launch of a new state‑of‑the‑art Research Institute MRI centre focusing on mild traumatic brain injury.

Location
Gisborne, located on New Zealand’s picturesque East Coast, is the first city in the world to greet the sunrise, and renowned for its golden beaches, surf culture, and rich Māori heritage. Popular activities include watching sunrise atop Maunga Hikurangi or Kaiti Hill, surfing at Waikanae, Makorori, and Wainui beaches, sliding down the 60 m Rere Rockslide, and feeding wild stingrays at Tatapouri Reef. Outdoor adventures abound: cycling historic rail trails, exploring Eastwoodhill Arboretum and native bush reserve, wine-tasting Gisborne chardonnay, and visiting heritage sites like Tolaga Bay Wharf. You’ll enjoy a laid-back coastal lifestyle and a vibrant, welcoming community.

About the hospital
