Are you looking for a new challenge?
Southern District Health Board has an exciting opportunity for you to make your mark. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced pharmacist to join our friendly team in Dunedin Hospital on a permanent, part-time basis.
About us
Our southern region serves a population of over 320,000 people, with hospitals in the 2 main centres servicing the district. Dunedin and Wakari Hospital have approximately 450 beds, and Southland Hospital in Invercargill has 180 beds.
The Dunedin Pharmacy service provides a full clinical and operational service to Dunedin Hospital, and we have a full Aseptic Production Unit. We provide a wide range of clinical services encompassing both generalist and specialist skills so there is no better place to move your career forward. In this environment, you will be encouraged to have a go at everything, which will both challenge and extend your experience and skills.
About you
You will have the ability to work and contribute as part of a team, have excellent time management skills, be a great communicator in verbal and in written language, and have very high standards of ethical and professional practice. A mature approach is essential as is having the ability to adapt to an ever-changing health environment.
Hospital pharmacy experience is preferred, but not absolutely essential as we may be able to offer full orientation to hospital pharmacy practice for the right candidate. You must however be registered or eligible to register as a Pharmacist with the Pharmacy Council of New Zealand under the provisions of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003, with the right to work in New Zealand.
Why Dunedin?
Now is a great time to relocate to Southern! Here you'll find an enviable lifestyle without any traffic headaches! Dunedin also has high quality schooling, restaurants, cafes, arts and cultural activities that rival those on offer anywhere in the country. The close locality to Central Otago means you can ski for the weekend, or enjoy those Central Otago summer temperatures, that dream will become your reality. And if that hasn't convinced you yet, then the exciting rebuild of Dunedin hospital as an advanced technology driven hospital just might. Southern is one of the most spectacular parts of New Zealand! Our high performing hospitals combined with a great location and stunning scenery make Southern an ideal work and lifestyle destination.
