    I have more than 17 years healthcare-specific recruitment experience working internationally in both the UK and back here in New Zealand.

    My specialty is placing medical professionals throughout New Zealand within both the public and private healthcare setting. I work across all areas of healthcare including but not limited to Doctors, Allied Health Professionals but also Specialist Nurses.


    Providing a full 360 recruitment service I will guide you through every step of securing a new role. With a true passion for Medical Recruitment, I use my experience and commitment to connect candidates to their ideal position in both metropolitan and rural locations.


    I also work with our clients to make sure we are making the perfect connection. Whether you are looking for a lifestyle change or to take that next step in your career I would love to assist you on the next step of your journey.

Marketing Coordinator

    My career began in the film industry as an audio specialist before shifting into theatre. I toured with Crowded House, the New Zealand Opera and many high-budget musicals. Between tours, I worked as a sound designer and composer. 


    Tiring of the late nights and long tours I picked up a couple of degrees and worked as the marketing manager for a specialty NZ film magazine before transitioning to Better Health Group. 


    I began my work with Better Health Group as a freelance copywriter and website editor. After a few years, I started here full-time in 2021 and quickly got to work with Brendan promoting the Better Health Careers Brand worldwide.

Annette MacFadyen

Administrator
  • Read Bio

    I am an office manager and administrator with over 20 years of experience. I have always worked in medical adjacent positions having spent 17 years as the office manager at MS & Parkinsons NZ. 


    In 2019 I joined Better Health Group as the lead administrator of the Community Infusion Service. This was a first of its kind service coordinating with General Practices, hospitals and patients to bring important services closer to home for patients throughout Canterbury.


    When that project came to an end I was happy to bring my administration expertise to the quickly expanding Better Health Careers team.


    My work has always been people focused and I enjoy being part of solutions that ultimately provide the best care to patients.
