Stay for the lifestyle.

At Coastal Medical, we believe a rewarding career should fit around the life you want to live.

With four clinics across Taranaki, including Ōakura, Ōpunake, Stratford and our modern Healthcare Hub in Waiwhakaiho, we offer opportunities to find the right fit for you, both professionally and personally.

Our connected, team-based approach to primary care means you’re supported by a wider clinical and operational team, including GPs, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Associates, Nurses and Medical Care Assistants. It’s about sharing responsibility, working together and giving clinicians the support they need to focus on patient care.

With flexible working arrangements, competitive remuneration, employee benefits and opportunities to grow, we’re open to exploring what your ideal role could look like.

And when the working day is done? Taranaki has it all. Beautiful beaches, mountain adventures, vibrant communities and the freedom to enjoy more of life outside work.

Whether you’re based in New Zealand or considering a move from overseas, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need to be ready to apply or have everything figured out. If you’re curious about working with Coastal Medical, we’d love to talk about what we can offer and how we could make it work for you.
