“I’m so grateful to Rachael and the team at Hospital Staff Solutions for their help finding a temporary child psychiatry post for me in Auckland. Rachael was really flexible with her communications, which is important when coordinating things across a 13-hour time difference. We were able to talk about my clinical experience in the UK and my NZ travel plans, and we identified an ideal post, and several back-up options.
I also can’t thank her enough for the support coordinating all of the administrative processes, such as medical council registration, necessary to start working on the other side of the world. It could have been daunting process, but Rachael helped guide me through the steps. I also appreciated all the suggestions about living and travel options when I arrived.
I strongly recommend anyone considering working in NZ to get in touch with the team at Hospital Staff Solutions”
