Small Town Values, Big Opportunities.

There's a thought that to get the big opportunities, you have to go to the big centers with the big populations. We think a little differently In South Canterbury. Here, in the South Island of New Zealand, you can be part of a small team which is big on performance, and you'll get all the support and development you need to make a big difference to your patients, and to make big steps towards wherever you want to go in your career.

Lifestyle and leisure opportunities? Huge.

Value for money? Immense.

Work-life balance? Colossal.

About Us

South Canterbury District Health Board (SCDHB) is the fourth smallest DHB in New Zealand. We employ more than 950 people and provide hospital and health services to more than 55,000 people in the South Canterbury region. Our services comprise Timaru Hospital, a well managed secondary level facility running to budget; and Talbot Park, an aged residential care facility. Our community's access to non-acute medical procedures would rate highly by any standards, and we consistently rate amongst the top performing DHBs in terms of our KPIs.

At SCDHB, you'll be recognised for what you do and who you are; you'll have the time needed to develop strong relationships with patients and colleagues alike; and from snow and water skiing right through to salmon fishing – you will have nature's playground right on your doorstep.
