GemSource Health, in partnership with Koira, connects qualified and soon-to-be graduating dentists with community-centred oral healthcare opportunities across New Zealand.
Our Partnership
GemSource Health is a dedicated healthcare recruitment vertical within GemSource Recruitment, established to support oral healthcare workforce needs across Aotearoa New Zealand.
We work alongside Koira, a Māori research and workforce strategy organisation, to better understand where workforce shortages are most acutely affecting Māori oral health providers — and to connect the right people with those opportunities in a way that is considered, respectful, and built for the long term.
This is not a recruitment drive in the conventional sense. It is a partnership focused on improving access to oral healthcare for Māori communities and underserved regions, by helping qualified dentists find roles where their work has direct, visible impact.
Why This Matters
Oral healthcare access for Māori communities is shaped by where providers are, and by whether those providers can find and keep the dentists they need.
Who This Is For
GemSource Health is a career pathway, not a placement scheme. It is suited to people who are ready, or nearly ready, to practise.
Applicants must be qualified, graduating soon, or eligible for registration/practice in New Zealand.
Provider Network
Providers in the broader network include organisations such as:
This list reflects providers within the wider Māori oral health network. Specific roles, locations and current vacancies are confirmed individually once you register your interest.
