New Zealand: General Radiologist

Job Description

3-6 month Locum Opportunity : commencing July 2009
Our client Hospital is seeking a General Radiologist to join their Team. The city is located on the sunny east coast of the North Island, is the first city in the world to see the sun each day.
The city has many cafes and restaurants serving local products as well as some of the best New Zealand food and wine, and is widely regarded as the chardonnay capital of New Zealand based on its reputation for making quality examples of this variety.
The district is a melting pot of cultures which provides valuable exposure and experiences both professionally and socially. The district's residents love the easy access to many outdoor pursuits including hunting, fishing, mountain biking and tramping.
Heading north for weekend camping is a popular and relaxing way to experience the North Island's beautiful coast. Its white-sand beaches are treasured and enjoyed by all - but such is the remote nature of many that you could find yourself virtually alone along great stretches of coast.
The city’s infrastructure ensures freight and commuting between other main centres is well catered for. Daily flights and bus connections join a rail freight service catering to a busy port for overseas shipping and local fishing industries.
The district covers a land area of 8,265 square kilometres on the eastern coast of the North Island of New Zealand. This is approximately 4.9% of New Zealand's total land area.
The district (population 45,000 with about 30,000 residing in the city) generally has warm summers and mild winters, and is one of the sunniest places in New Zealand with average yearly sunshine of around 2200 hours. The region's annual rainfall varies from about 1000mm near the coast to over 2500mm in the higher inland country. Temperatures of 38°C have been recorded and an average 65 days a year have a maximum of over 24°C. TAR0409
