Why choose to become a part of our team?
Pihanga Health is a Monday to Friday practice with after-hours needs being handled by Ka Ora Telecare phone triage.
We are a teaching practice that encourages ongoing learning at all levels, but most of all we love creative ideas for delivering high quality health services that put our patients at the centre of their care, and genuinely improves their health and wellbeing.
Everyone gets an equal voice in designing services for the practice. Working with Pihanga Health is an opportunity to be part of our proactive and innovative rural GP practice who care for a wide and diverse patient population.
We pride ourselves on providing a working environment where everyone can enjoy job satisfaction and a work-life balance.
We acknowledge and honour te Tiriti o Waitangi in our daily work and are committed to building cultural capability at Pihanga Health. Your understanding of tikanga māori and/or te reo māori will be greatly welcomed. Some of our staff live in Taupō and commute to work, others live at the southern end of the lake which gives them an unique opportunity to be a part of Southern Lakes communities.
We are a not-for-profit charity run by a Board of Trustees.

Are you a registered General Practitioner or Nurse Practitioner in New Zealand? If so, we’d love to invite you to join our progressive and experienced team in the stunning Great Lake region of the central North Island!
Here at our practice, we believe in creating a fantastic working environment where you can enjoy the rewards of rural healthcare while maintaining a good work-life balance. With a low GP/NP to patient ratio, you’ll have the time and resources to provide the high-quality care our complex patients truly deserve.
We’re on the lookout for someone who thrives in a team setting, is adaptable to a fast-paced environment, and has a commitment to mentoring others - because we are an active teaching practice too.
If you’re someone who embraces a collaborative, patient-centered approach to healthcare, we think you’d fit in perfectly!
In this role, you’ll have your own group of patients to care for, while also working closely with other healthcare providers to share knowledge, skills and experience. We're focused on quality, innovation and learning. We truly value each team member's interests and encourage everyone to take on a subject-matter expert role within our practice.
If you speak Te Reo Māori and are open to living at the southern end of the lake, that would be a wonderful bonus! But don’t worry if you’re considering commuting from Taupo or surrounding southern communities—there are options to carpool.
We offer a competitive salary, along with Kiwisaver contributions, help with registration fees, medical indemnity cover, and costs for your practicing certificate.
If you’re about making a difference in people’s lives and want a fulfilling role, we’d love to hear from you!
