• Senior and leadership pathways: NZD $111,000–$151,000.

Visa Sponsorship and Immigration Support

This opportunity is relevant to qualified professionals considering relocation from overseas. Health New Zealand states that its recruitment and immigration teams can guide international applicants through visa processing, professional registration and relocation.

The employer also identifies mammography as an occupation associated with New Zealand’s Green List Tier 1 and describes a Straight to Residence pathway. Applicants must still meet the applicable immigration and professional requirements. Eligibility for a residence pathway is not automatic, and a job advert does not guarantee that every applicant will receive a job offer or visa.

Applicants should confirm their eligibility directly with the employer and Immigration New Zealand before making relocation or financial commitments.
