Vacancy Ref # 5774552

The Wairarapa region offers a fantastic lifestyle for all.  If you fancy living in a rural district, with quality schools and a strong community spirit, great beaches, world class vineyards, superb mountain ranges ideal for tramping and a modern hospital, then this could be the place you call home.

Wairarapa Hospital, based in Masterton is a little more than an hour from Palmerston North Airport, Wellington International Airport and inter-island ferry connections. Daily rail service also links Wellington with Wairarapa towns and scheduled InterCity coach services run from Palmerston North to Masterton Tuesday - Friday.

An opportunity exists to join our small and friendly Imaging Team for a motivated enthusiastic Sonographer.

Working at the Wairarapa DHB you will become part of a passionate and committed team of health workers providing a modern and innovative approach to healthcare, with the bonus of a healthy balanced lifestyle and opportunities for professional development.

Applicants must either be registered with the NZ Medical Radiation Technologists Board (MRTB), or be in the process of obtaining registration.
