About Jo Weaver

Having worked with many of the team members in my previous role, they recognised my skills and experience in the health field and thought that I could bring valuable knowledge and tools to the organisation. It’s a pleasure to be a part of the Prescript team.

I am a dedicated recruitment professional with an extensive background in the healthcare industry. I began my career at a sole-doctor GP practice and during my 17 years there, I helped grow the practice to nine staff members, including four doctors, four part-time receptionists, and myself. Seeking to broaden my knowledge, I then transitioned to Medical Workforce at a small rural public hospital where I enjoyed building relationships with clinical and non-clinical staff.

My experience working with hospitals and practices enables me to put myself in both health services and doctors’ shoes and truly understand their recruitment needs from their perspective.

Professionally, I am driven by contributing 100% of the time, doing the very best I can to make doctors feel happy and fulfilled in their positions. Personally, my driving force is family. I am there to support them, be involved, nurture, and watch them grow.

In my role, I am passionate about achieving good outcomes, placing doctors in vacant roles, building relationships with medical professionals, and filling organisational roster gaps with locums. In doing so, I hope to contribute to the Prescript’s growth, success, and our mission of solving the regional doctor shortage in Australia.

Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, growing my own veggies, cooking, and trying new recipes. I am also an avid reader of murder/crime mysteries.

Please feel free to reach out to say hi or if you'd like to update me on your current locum availability. For any VIC-based doctors, you're always welcome to pop in to see me at the Melbourne office for a coffee - it would be great to see you in-person!

While In Broome

Pearl Industry: Broome has a significant historical connection with the pearl industry. Pearling has been a major economic activity in the town since the late 1800s when Japanese, Malay, Chinese, and Indigenous divers harvested pearls from the surrounding waters. Today, Broome pearls are still highly regarded and sought after worldwide.

Cable Beach: One of the most famous attractions in Broome is Cable Beach, a stunning 22-kilometre (13.7 miles) stretch of white sandy beach with turquoise waters. It is a popular spot for sunsets, camel rides, and water activities.

Staircase to the Moon: Broome is also known for a natural phenomenon called the "Staircase to the Moon," which occurs during certain times of the year. It happens when the full moon rises over the exposed tidal flats of Roebuck Bay, creating an optical illusion of a staircase leading to the moon.

Indigenous Culture: The Kimberley region, including Broome, is home to various Indigenous Australian communities. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Yawuru, Nyul Nyul, Bardi Jawi, and other local Indigenous groups.

Horizontal Waterfalls: One of the unique natural wonders near Broome is the Horizontal Waterfalls in Talbot Bay. These are a pair of stunning tidal waterfalls created by the rapid tidal movements in the region. Visitors can take boat tours to witness this breathtaking phenomenon.

Broome Historical Museum: For those interested in the town's history, the Broome Historical Museum offers insights into Broome's pearling past and the region's diverse heritage.

Broome Bird Observatory: Birdwatchers will appreciate the Broome Bird Observatory, which offers opportunities to observe a wide variety of migratory birds that flock to the area during certain times of the year.

About Mel Houston

Hi, I'm Melissa Houston; I am one of the Senior Recruitment Partners at Prescript Recruitment, working with rural generalists and emergency medicine doctors across metro and regional Australia.

My experience covers over a decade of medical recruitment, specialising in senior doctors and solving the healthcare shortage.

I am an expert in working closely with hospitals, departments, and clinics to fill their critical vacancies. My success has included roster management, executive search projects and in-depth relationship building with locum doctors.

I love to work hard whilst injecting humour and fun into my day-to-day activities. I really enjoy meeting clients and doctors; as it stands, I think I've ticked off 100 hospitals that I have visited, and that is probably only touching the surface. I believe it's integral to matching doctors’ and clients’ needs and helps me better understand doctors' new roles.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter and family. I'm a water baby at heart, so you'll often find me out on our family boat - sailing the beautiful waters of the Mornington Peninsula (where I live!).

This is an excellent health service to work in whilst exploring one of Australia’s bucket list holiday destinations.

Known for its pristine beaches, rugged cliffs, and lush forests, this captivating island offers a unique sanctuary for both nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

About Jason Ahmad

I’m Jason Ahmad – Senior Radiology Recruitment Partner at Prescript. I have worked in a number of health-related fields; however, medical recruitment has been the most enjoyable. I have more than 20 years of experience in areas such as Pathology, Medical Indemnity and GP Recruitment. This broad knowledge base allows me to understand the challenges faced by those in our field and therefore find solutions that often create enduring positive outcomes.

I am driven professionally by being able to create positive and meaningful health outcomes in rural and regional communities. It is immensely satisfying helping practices and hospitals find the right doctor for their permanent and locum positions, and I pride myself on finding optimal outcomes that balance doctor needs with practice requirements. Every time I make a placement, we are one step closer to solving the regional doctor shortage.

I see many opportunities for growth in the medical industry. I am particularly interested in seeing the barriers faced by International Medical Graduates lowered to facilitate their registration with the Australian Medical Board. As a cohort, they offer a very real solution to the enduring rural workforce shortage. I feel as a country, we have the resources and technology to do this without compromising patient safety.

Outside of work, I’m personally driven to encourage and support my two sons whose development are my greatest aspiration. Aside from a two-year stay in Melbourne, I have lived my entire life in Adelaide. I enjoy being outdoors when I can, and love a game of pool, and watching the cricket or football; especially at a live match. I have three cats and a dog who are sources of endless comfort and, at times, amusement.

Clinical Trial Medical Officer – Part-Time Permanent Opportunity – Sydney, NSW

Are you a conscientious and ambitious GP looking for a stimulating non-clinical role to supplement your current practice?  

Prescript has partnered with a well-established Clinical Research facility on Sydney’s Northern Beaches to find principal or sub-investigators to assist with breakthrough studies to help better the world.

This is a perfect opportunity for GPs with a special interest in research, or previous clinical trials experience, to establish themselves in the field – whilst maintaining their primary care commitments on a part-time basis.

This organisation has undergone multiple recruitment drives since first working with Prescript and this has been an increasingly popular option for specialists looking to broaden their skillsets. Please register your interest in this role as quickly as possible to be considered, it will not stay vacant for long!

The Position

There is scope for one or two part-time investigators to commence immediately at this state-of-the-art clinical research facility.

For doctors without previous clinical trials experience, you will be engaged as a Sub-Investigator (SI) – working within a small team of SIs and nurses under the guidance of a Principal Investigator (PI). For experienced researchers or those with previous SI or PI experience, there is one opportunity (part or full-time) to step into a leadership position at this facility.

Your primary responsibility as an SI is to ensure the well-being, safety and interest of all participants taking part in the various clinical trials ran at the research centre. Through clinical care, obtaining informed consent and physical examinations - you’ll maintain clinical oversight of medical care, procedures and decisions regarding studies.

You will bring your primary care experience, impeccable commitment to patient safety and the ability to implement and review stringent study protocols. This is primarily a participant/patient-facing position, but collaboration and accurate reporting to sponsor organisations is required – strong administration skills are essential.

If you’re looking to further your career in clinical research and have an interest in progressing into a PI role, whilst living in a perfectly situated and beautiful area of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, then this could be the role for you.

For PIs, in addition to the above, you will be responsible for the implementation and design of ongoing and new trials, training of SIs, delegation of responsibilities, participant retention, overseeing safety, deviation of protocols and adverse reactions – and be expected to provide final reports to partner organisations. Further information on the responsibilities of a PI can be provided on request.

.Time Commitment:

Whilst GPs can opt to apply for these roles on a full-time basis, the ideal doctor will maintain at least a minimum level of clinical commitments outside of their investigator work. The minimum requirement for this position is approximately two full-time days per week, Monday- Friday, although there is flexibility to provide this time commitment over multiple half days (mornings/afternoons) or potentially corresponding with week-on-week off schedules.

Ultimately, this position is for GPs with a long-term desire to further a career in research, no matter what stage of their own career they are in. Applicants for the Sub-Investigator position(s) are expected to progress towards working as a Principal Investigator once prepared and comfortable with the role.

About Paul Tillman

As Prescripts Senior Recruitment Partner for non-specialist doctors, I am passionate about building close relationships with both the doctors and health services I work with. I always aim to provide a personal and tailored service and will strive to find the best opportunities for doctors based on their needs and goals and, in turn, provide health services with the best fit for the vacancies they have.

Having worked in medical recruitment for over five years, I have a great understanding of the roles available and the challenges health services face in finding staff for their vacancies.

Prior to working in medical recruitment, I was a Registered Nurse and worked in the UK as a Respiratory HDU Nurse for NHS trusts. This means I have a great insight into the challenges of working clinically and always try to consider this in my work.

I am currently studying Nursing again to allow me the opportunity to return to some clinical work in Australia. My family and I moved to Melbourne from the UK over five years ago, and I enjoy travelling and exploring Australia whenever I can, as well as getting back home to visit family in the UK.

My passions are spending time with friends and family, including my dog Ted, eating and drinking out, enjoying the Australian weather (when Melbourne allows), and sports – most of all football (or soccer, as I am often told).

I always have time for a chat and a joke with health services and doctors alike and look forward to building new connections at Prescript.

Locum Rural Generalists – North-West Tasmania – Up to $2800pd

With the implementation of the single employer pilot training model, Tasmania is becoming an attractive option again for Rural Generalists and GPs with a remote primary care interest.

For thrill-seekers and nature lovers, an exciting opportunity has presented itself in Smithton, North-West of Devonport and the gateway to the Tarkine Wilderness.

With increased rates of $2800 per day for an urgent block, and more opportunities throughout the year, now is the time to make inroads in this community-focussed practice whilst providing on-call services for the small local district hospital.

Smithton is a charming town that combines natural beauty, historical significance, and a close-knit community. During your downtime, whether you're interested in exploring the wilderness, enjoying coastal activities, or immersing yourself in the local culture, Smithton offers a memorable experience for your next locum opportunity.

The Position

Working alongside at least one other GP, you will be providing primary care coverage to their 4000 residents whilst participating in a shared on-call roster for the small 12-bed district hospital.

The competitive daily rate is independent of the work you are doing, meaning even standard clinic days in the practice are paid at a set daily rate up to $2800pd. Smithton is an industrial town attractive to adventure tourists (even in winter), so you will see a variety of patients during your locum blocks.

Importantly, short-term locum opportunities are available here, with 5-7 day locums being the norm. A perfect break in practice if you have never experienced working in a small Tasmanian town.

About Smithton

Smithton is a picturesque town located in the northwest region of Tasmania, Australia. Situated on the banks of the Duck River, Smithton serves as the administrative centre of the Circular Head municipality. Known for its natural beauty and friendly community, Smithton offers visitors a charming rural experience.

One of the notable attractions in Smithton is the Tarkine Wilderness, which encompasses a vast area of temperate rainforest and coastal heathlands. The Tarkine region is home to unique flora and fauna, including ancient myrtle trees, wombats, platypus, and a variety of bird species. Visitors can explore this pristine wilderness by embarking on scenic walks, camping, or taking guided tours.

Another highlight of Smithton is its proximity to the rugged coastline of Tasmania's northwest. Sandy Cape and Green Point are popular destinations for beach lovers and offer stunning views of the Bass Strait. Visitors can indulge in activities such as swimming, surfing, fishing, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll along the sandy shores.

For history enthusiasts, the Circular Head Heritage Centre in Smithton provides insights into the area's past. The centre exhibits artefacts and documents that depict the region's rich Aboriginal heritage and European settlement history. It is an ideal place to learn about the local culture and traditions.
