MEDICAL SUPPORT (DOCTOR)

The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified medical practitioners to support the New Zealand Olympic Surfing Team during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

The Olympic surfing competition is being held in Teahupoʻo on the southwestern coast of the island of Tahiti and supporting the team with appropriate medical support is a priority for the NZOC. The successful applicant will be required to assist in the medical preparation of the team prior to leaving for the Games and to travel to Tahiti to support the team during the Olympic Games in July / August 2024 for up to three weeks.

Applicants must be New Zealand registered medical practitioners with the ability to travel and work internationally. A working understanding of the sport of surfing, the ability to support a broad range of health conditions potentially faced by athletes and team support in Tahiti, and the ability to incorporate seamlessly into the culture of the NZOC and surfing community will be key attributes of the successful candidate.

Successful applicants will be highly motivated by this rare opportunity to provide healthcare support to elite New Zealand Athletes at their pinnacle sporting event, in a one-off environment.
