Join our team within the Hastings Macleay Clinical Network, based primarily at Port Macquarie Base Hospital. This is a great opportunity to deliver contemporary specialist gastroenterology care while enjoying the lifestyle benefits of the NSW Mid North Coast.
This full-time (1 FTE) role provides inpatient and outpatient specialist gastroenterology services, supporting optimal outcomes for patients across the network. Consideration will be given to applicants proposing fractional appointment or job-sharing arrangements.
While the position is primarily based at Port Macquarie Base Hospital, there's an expectation of providing care, advice and outreach to Kempsey District Hospital and other peripheral facilities and community clinics as required.
Reporting to the Head of Department of Medicine, you'll provide a consultant service, participate in the elective endoscopic procedure list and perform emergency endoscopic procedures, and take part in the on-call emergency scope roster (with possible participation in the General Medicine on-call roster).
You'll work closely with nursing, allied health and administrative colleagues to ensure continuity and quality of care, and contribute to clinical governance, quality improvement and risk management activities. Education and mentorship are central to this position. You'll provide supervision and training to junior medical officers, registrars and other relevant staff, supporting a culture of learning and continuous professional development. A managerial allowance may be considered for the right senior candidate.
You'll bring a high standard of clinical practice, strong communication skills, and a demonstrated commitment to teaching, quality improvement and multidisciplinary teamwork.
This role will suit someone who values clinical excellence, collaborative practice and making a meaningful impact within a regional health service. You'll be joining a supportive network that prioritises patient safety, cultural respect and community health outcomes.
