About the Role
Hawke's Bay Fallen Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital is searching for a Dental Registrar to join our cohesive, friendly and supportive team.
The successful candidate could look to commence from July 2025.
About the Team/Service/ Location
You would join a team of five Senior Dentists and two Dental Registrars. The Hospital Dental Service provides dental care over four sites in Hastings, Napier and Wairoa. We have a clinical focus on medially compromised, tamariki and special needs patients and provide care in both outpatient and theatre settings.
Our current Dental Registrars have the opportunity to attend maxillofacial theatres and outpatient clinics and we are also supported by a regional maxillofacial service. This role requires participation in a 1:4 on-call roster, providing acute dental and maxillofacial services. We enjoy close working relationships with the Community Oral Health Service, including delivering clinics in the community and combined professional development. The Hawke’s Bay Hospital Dental Service is a great working environment where you will be supported, have learning opportunities, increased clinical responsibility and become a more independent clinician.
Hawke's Bay Fallen Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital is situated in Hastings on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is a large, secondary level, 400-bed accredited public facility providing acute and elective care for a region of over 176,000 people.
