At Waikato Hospital, we have training positions at both SHO and registrar level, with a single application pathway for both. On review of your CV and cover letter, we will determine whether you qualify for an SHO or registrar position. Entry positions (no previous accredited anaesthetic experience) are at SHO level. Trainees with accredited anaesthetic experience rotating from elsewhere (including overseas) may apply at Registrar level. All positions are accredited for ANZCA training, and our SHOs start ANZCA Introductory Training at the commencement of their position.
Applications must include a CV and cover letter, as well as a completed Midland Anaesthetic Training Program checklist.
The checklist document is available from the DHB vacancies website once applications open. It requests simple information from you to streamline the process for the recruitment team. It normally takes candidates less than a minute to complete. Applicants are asked to share their ranking of the New Zealand anaesthetic rotations that they have applied to. This ranking is discussed nationally. Applicants are also asked to identify the hospital in the Midland Rotation where they would most like to commence their training - this is solely to facilitate placements, and does not factor into recruitment decisions.
We require references to be submitted at the time of application; applications without completed references are severely disadvantaged. Please follow the instructions in the application with regard to references carefully, including using the correct reference form. Referees should email their reference directly to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. email address in confidence.
You can register your interest at any time using the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. email address. (Note that this would not consistitute a formal application; this must be done via the official vacancies website.)
