As many New Zealanders aspiring to a better lifestyle have discovered, Hawke's Bay is a great place to live. For health professionals and administrators living or relocating to the region, there would be few more satisfying places to work than Royston.
Set in a leafy pocket of residential Hastings, Royston offers a pleasant working environment within an attractively designed hospital and health centre complex.
Regular financial investment into facilities and equipment allows specialists and staff to practise their profession within a superior medical environment.
The Royston team
Royston Hospital employs more than 120 staff including over 70 qualified nurses. Royston's medical professionals are enthusiastically supported by the hospital administrators and management.

Royston has a commitment to provide ongoing training for its staff, both on and off site. Opportunities to attend clinical conferences and undertake relevant post graduate study are encouraged and where appropriate financially supported.

Royston offers you an opportunity to work with these highly respected specialists, in partnership with a first rate nursing team.
