Well, Puawai Aroha Maternity Unit, Hauora Tairāwhiti might just be the right place for you. We currently have permanent and fixed term contracts available. The FTE is negotiable with the option of 8 and 12 hour shifts.

We also run an antenatal clinic catering for the needs of pregnant women referred to us for a consultation or transfer of care from the LMC to our secondary care services.

We currently have a team of 5 obstetricians’ and a NNU which is attached to our maternity unit. We all work closely together so that we can improve our outcomes for mums and babies and have strong organisational values of:

Whakarangatira (to enrich)

Awhi (to support)

Kotahitanga (togetherness)

Aroha (Compassion)
