Psychiatrist -  Hamilton, New Zealand

Posted 17 May 2013

Hauora Waikato

1. General Adult Psychiatrist (Locum)
2. Child and Youth Psychiatrist (Locum)

Hauora Waikato Group is a Kaupapa Maori Mental Health Non-Government Organisation based in Hamilton, New Zealand.  It is the largest NGO of its kind in New Zealand and provides a range of specialist secondary level mental health services to the greater Waikato region (catchment population approx. 380,000) contracted directly by Waikato District Health Board. 

Hamilton provides a relaxed city environment that caters for individuals and families.  Situated in the central North Island, it is within easy reach of a number of attractions including beaches in Raglan and the Bay of Plenty, recreational opportunities in Auckland, Rotorua, Waitomo and Taupo, and ski fields in the Central Plateau.

Services provided by Hauora Waikato Group include child and adolescent, early intervention, general adult, maternal and forensic mental health services.  Hauora Waikato provides mental health services from a holistic perspective to Maori and non-Maori. We currently employ eight psychiatrists as part of multidisciplinary teams.

We are seeking dynamic and motivated psychiatrists who are committed to providing high quality mental health care.  Although two positions are available, there is scope to work across more than one team.   

Successful applicants need not have previously worked in a Kaupapa Maori setting but will be comfortable with providing holistic mental health care and be flexible in meeting the mental health needs of the people in our area.  They will enjoy an attractive remuneration package and flexibility in work arrangements (part time/full time, across teams).  There are no on-call duties, and no obligation to supervise registrars.

Although locum positions are currently available, there is also the potential for longer term employment.

For expressions of interest or confidential discussion, contact Dr Rishi Duggal, Executive Officer & Clinical Director (07) 839 9916 or rishi.duggal@hauorawaikato.org.nz.

Ashburn Clinic is a private psychiatric hospital established in this small university city 130 years ago, and now run as a democratic therapeutic community owned and operated by a not-for-profit charitable trust.  We treat a broad range of patients, with some public funding in recognition of the unique contribution our treatment model makes to the overall network of mental health services in New Zealand.  Patients are aged seventeen and upwards, and may present with eating disorders, personality disorders, addictions, severe and complex responses to trauma, or other psychiatric illnesses.  There is a dedicated addictions service and an eating disorders service embedded in the therapeutic community.
