Kōrero mō te tūranga – About the role

The Wellington Regional Plastic Maxillo-Facial and Burn Unit is seeking applications for a junior/developmental plastic surgery fellow to join our service for one year, from early 2027. 

This role will work alongside a medical team comprising around 12 plastic surgery consultants, and 12 junior doctors of varying grades. You will be rostered to a mix of acute and elective operating under both general and local anaesthetic, review patients in the emergency and outpatient departments, and participate in some clinics. Depending on your level of competency, you will participate in either the senior or junior registrar after hours roster. 

The Plastic Surgery Unit is a tertiary service based in Lower Hutt, Wellington, and provides regional services to Capital and Coast, Wairarapa, Mid Central, Hawke’s Bay, Nelson/Marlborough and Whanganui areas, servicing a population of over 1 million people. The fellow roles will be expected to attend clinics in these other district hospitals alongside colleagues.

You must be able to work legally in New Zealand and have either a permanent NZ address or a work visa or permit and be eligible for IMG registration pathways through Medical Council New Zealand.

Moū – About you

The junior/developmental fellow role would suit an overseas candidate who ideally has commenced but not yet completed plastic surgery training. This may include plastic surgery registrars from less developed countries seeking a development opportunity in a New Zealand unit.
