You'd do it for a year anyway.

There's an unbelievable job available in New Zealand and not one person has applied for it. Here are the terms being offered to become a GP in Tokoroa in the North Island:
  • Salary - £191,000
  • Working Time - Four days a week
  • No weekends
  • No nights
  • Holidays - 12 weeks
  • You own half the GP practice
Dr Alan Kenny, who is offering the position, told the New Zealand Herald he hasn't received any applications for the role despite the package on offer. He reckons the size of Tokoroa (population: 13,600) and getting people to move out of Auckland is the biggest problem in finding a partner for his practice. "Auckland has the biggest medical school and most kids who go to medical school come from wealthy families in the Auckland area,” he told NZH.

“If they recruited more students from rural areas, they might actually come here."

Given the recent news, we reckon he'll be getting a few emails from the UK  in the next few days. 12 weeks holidays and a four day week. Unreal.

Warning: Do not hire this man.
