General Practitioner (GP), Family Physician required for a January 2012 start.  A rare opportunity to get involved in New Zealand culture and be part of an amazing community.

World Famous in New Zealand.  Come and be part of Patea, Taranaki.  Maori songs have rarely hit the charts in New Zealand. That all changed in 1984 when the hit 'Poi E' blitzed the charts for 22 weeks, including four weeks at number one.

Overseas it was big as well. The Patea Maori Club toured the United Kingdom in 1984 and played at the London Palladium and the Edinburgh Festival and gave a Royal Command Performance. British magazine New Musical Express named 'Poi E' its single of the week at one point.

The song later expanded into a musical that told the story of the effects of the closure of the freezing works on the small township of Patea.

In 2010 'Poi E' was used in the popular Taika Waititi movie, Boy. This, along with a remake of the video using actors from the film and another with the original members, saw the song returning to the New Zealand music charts.
