General Practitioner

A rewarding GP career, a genuinely supportive team and a lifestyle that's hard to beat.

• 4x Taranaki Locations + Coastal and Rural Lifestyle.
• Flexible Working Arrangements + Relocation Support for Eligible Candidates.
• NIB Health Insurance + Birthday Leave + Long-Service Leave + Additional Employee Benefits.

Fred Recruitment is proud to be partnering with Coastal Medical to connect experienced General Practitioners with a team that genuinely values its people, its communities and the care it provides.

A different way to practise

At Coastal Medical, you'll be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team where GPs are supported to work to their full scope of practice.

You'll work alongside Nurse Practitioners, Physician Associates, nurses, pharmacists, Emergency Care Practitioners and wider clinical and administrative support teams.

With structured triage, dedicated support and a connected clinical team, you'll have the opportunity to focus on delivering great patient care in an environment where people genuinely support one another.

Four clinics, one connected team

Coastal Medical has four locations across Taranaki, each offering something a little different:

• Healthcare Hub, New Plymouth: A modern, well-equipped clinic close to the city, beaches, restaurants and amenities.
• Ōakura: A welcoming coastal community with beautiful beaches and an easy commute to New Plymouth.
• Ōpunakē: A relaxed coastal town offering a close-knit community, beautiful surroundings and a quieter pace of life.
• Stratford: A welcoming rural community, ideally positioned for exploring Taranaki Maunga and the great outdoors.

There may be flexibility to explore different locations and working arrangements, depending on your preferences and the needs of the clinics.

What Coastal Medical offers

Coastal Medical offers a competitive and flexible package, with a range of additional benefits for employed GPs, including:

• NIB health insurance, birthday leave and long-service leave.
• Professional indemnity insurance, annual Medical Council APC fees and RNZCGP membership covered.
• Three days' paid study leave each year, plus access to a professional development education grant.
• Staff discounts, including Skin on Forty-Five and healthcare services across CML clinics.

Relocating to Taranaki?

Relocation support is available for candidates moving to Taranaki from elsewhere in New Zealand or overseas, including temporary accommodation and access to a vehicle to help you settle in. Additional relocation assistance and financial incentives may be considered depending on the candidate and overall package.

Flexible working arrangements are available, including full-time, part-time and Locum options.

What we're looking for

• A General Practitioner with, or eligible to obtain, Medical Council of New Zealand registration in an appropriate scope.
• A patient-centred clinician who enjoys building strong relationships with patients and communities.
• Someone who values collaboration and enjoys being part of a supportive multidisciplinary team.
• A GP looking for a rewarding opportunity, whether you're already based in New Zealand or considering a move here.

Come for the career. Stay for the lifestyle.

Taranaki offers a wonderful balance of professional opportunity and lifestyle. With the mountain on your doorstep, beautiful beaches, coastal walks and welcoming communities, it's a place where you can enjoy a fulfilling career without compromising on the things that matter outside work.

As one Coastal Medical GP puts it:

" I get to do work that I love and still get to the beach after work.”
