About the Role
We are welcoming applications for an Intensive Care Specialist (Senior Medical Officer) to join our dynamic team in our Critical Care Complex, based at Middlemore Hospital. We have a progressive attitude to intensive care medicine and development of the service, with a multi-disciplinary, non-hierarchical approach to our work. Additionally, we value collegiality and work-life integration. Start date is negotiable. Permanent and fixed term positions available, with ability to negotiate hours to suit both parties.
Admission numbers are around 1400 per year to the Complex (ICU/HDU) with 85% of these as acute admissions. We are a supra-regional spinal injury service and care for severe burns as part of the National Burn Service taking patients from throughout New Zealand. Additionally, we admit around 150 paediatric patients each year and are involved in paediatric resuscitation in the Emergency Department.
The successful applicant will be at specialist level or have completed training in intensive care medicine. Permanent positions will only be offered to those who have passed the Australasian Part 2 fellowship exam in Intensive Care Medicine and either have, or be working towards final completion of, the FCICM for Australia and New Zealand.
You will work on the Specialist roster with responsibility for admissions and discharges to the Critical Care as well as supervision of resident medical staff. You will also develop responsibility for some of our essential non-clinical portfolios. We will offer 25% non-clinical time, and mentoring as appropriate, to help you develop portfolio interests and skills that will benefit your career development. These could include Education, Research and Human Factors/ Safety and Quality. We will support you to attend conferences and meetings that further these interests and allow you to complete your CPD requirements.
