Tristan da Cunha St Helena & Ascension Job Vacancies

Re-Advertisement for Island Doctors : Closing Date 29th February 2012

CALLING ALL DOCTORS!

Are you up for a unique challenge? Does burnout threaten? Do you need to escape from the mainstream medical world for a while? If you have wide clinical experience and a well-founded sense of professional and personal self-sufficiency, then the totally unique job as the sole Medical Officer on the Island of Tristan da Cunha could be for you.

1700 miles west of Cape Town on the edge of the Roaring Forties in the South Atlantic, Tristan is the remotest inhabited spot on the face of the globe, and a British Overseas Territory. With the help of a team of locally trained (but unqualified) nurses, and based in a 4-bed hospital, you will deliver medical services to 270 warm and generous Tristanians. You may very occasionally be bored, you may occasionally even be a little bit scared, but the main reward for the right person in this posting is a unique brand of job satisfaction and fulfillment, and the grateful appreciation of the kindly, sturdy folk you'll be looking after. This is a step back in time to a gentler age perhaps, but also a potentially great leap forward for you personally and a revitalisation of your career.

NI-CO has been managing a Health Link for doctors on Tristan da Cunha for almost 20 years and can provide you with all the support and background information you need, including putting you in touch with other doctors who have experienced life and work in this exciting and unique location.

If you are interested, please contact us at fmilligan@nico.org.uk .
We look forward to hearing from you!
