Apply Some Pressure

Apply Some Pressure.png

I’m often asked by doctors and hospitals why they should choose to work with me over one of my many competitors. Apart from the obvious answers – I’ve been recruiting doctors for regional Australia since 2012, I’ve got an extensive network, I use Prescript’s 7-step framework to get results – I usually give them a very personal reason too.

A healthy amount of pressure makes me productive. If you tell me that you’re relying on me to find you a job so you can pay your mortgage or pay for your overseas trip, that has an effect on me. If you tell me that you’re relying on me to manage your recruitment so that you can concentrate on the on the many other non-recruitment aspects of your job, that has an effect on me too.

A healthy amount of pressure makes me productive.
— Ian Ormesher


What happens? It stresses me out. So I take action and I get the results that you want. I’m your recruitment partner and it’s my job to take on your stress and make it my own. Why waste time canvassing several agencies asking for the same thing when you can just tell me that you’re relying on me to do my job?

Conversely, if I’m not able to help you for some reason – maybe I don’t have capacity to take on your permanent recruitment project right now, or perhaps when it comes to finding work in popular city hospitals that rarely use agencies, I know you’ll have more success applying directly rather than via agency.

In those cases, I’ll tell you that I can’t help you right now and if possible I’ll point you in the direction of someone who can. Just think of all the time that will save you!

The other day, an O&G Registrar that I regularly place in locum positions gave me his dates of availability and said: “but don’t stress over it, Ian.” When I pointed out that it’s actually my job to stress over it and find him work so that he doesn’t have to worry about it, he replied: “you are a victim of your own efficiency!” Indeed. Perhaps it’s time I had a new team member join me? A problem shared is a problem halved after all. Watch this space…

Consultant Neurologist – Tasmania

Consultant Neurologist Tasmania
  • Be part of the transformation and expansion of the region’s Neurology service
  • Charming regional city offers a desirable lifestyle and affordable real estate
  • Very competitive remuneration and relocation package

Where could your career in Neurology take you? Ever considered a move to Tasmania? As the newest addition to this expanding Neurology service, you can make a real impact on the hospital and the community it serves.

About Your Role

Working in a regional area as one of only two specialist Neurologists, you will quickly notice the tangible benefits that your role is providing to the community. Strong teamwork and close professional relationships with colleagues are important. Junior medical officers, an EEG scientist and excellent nursing staff will support you in your role. You will also have regular interaction with the Neurology department at the state’s major referral centre.


With access to facilities such as MRI and neurophysiology equipment including NCS/EMG and EEG, you won’t be disadvantaged by working in a smaller general hospital. ICU, Rehab and Psychiatry services are on site, with stroke thrombolysis available in the ED and clot retrieval via transfer to the state’s tertiary hospital.

Although this is a full-time position, there is also the possibility of part-time appointments.

About The Location

Your new city, like the rest of Tasmania, is a good example of good things coming in small packages and is ideally nestled at the head of a beautiful valley. The city has grown around a pretty port which has a fascinating history and a vibrant modern day culture.


The region’s natural beauty is truly staggering and it has developed a well-deserved reputation for fine wine, excellent food from the local surrounds, and a charming setting in which to enjoy all these good things.

Why Make the Move?

Property prices in the capital cities continue to break records but with beautiful scenery and a real sense of community at your doorstep, now is the perfect time to think differently and make a smart move. Affordable daily flights mean that the mainland is always within easy reach.


Many doctors who relocate to Tasmania advance rapidly in their careers as they can expand and develop their management and specialist clinical skills. Looking for your first Consultant job? Or perhaps you want to get out of the rat race and slow down the pace a bit? Either way, this could be your ideal next step.


A generous relocation and remuneration package is on offer, including: mobile phone and car allowance; continuing professional development allowance; private practice top-up scheme; generous sabbatical, professional development and long service leave entitlements.

About You

To be able to apply for this position, you must hold FRACP or equivalent, be eligible to apply for registration with AHPRA and be able to demonstrate professional competence as a Consultant Neurologist. A passion for regional healthcare is also essential in order to be considered for this role.


Unsure about your eligibility for the job? Send through a copy of your current CV and we would be happy to advise you.

Sound Interesting?

With its combination of a friendly team culture, extensive professional development opportunities and a focus on work-life balance, you’ll no doubt want to get all the details about this great position.


Please note: locum Neurologist cover is required at this hospital until we appoint to the position. If you already hold FRACP and specialist registration with AHPRA, why not “try before you buy” with a short-term locum assignment!


To apply, email your CV to Ian Ormesher at Prescript Recruitment on ian@prescript.com.au or call 1300 755 498 today.
