Dee Chilcott - Business Manager - Lead Recruitment Consultant

I joined Gold Standard Locums in 1997 just months after its launch and recognising the challenges involved - immediately enjoyed helping to provide rewarding outcomes for both working Doctors and Health Providers.
With the restructuring of the company in 2000, I appreciated the opportunity to become Owner and Business Manager.

I primarily focus on recruiting for hospital opportunities, General Practices and Medical Centres. My background from corporate banking - with various roles in HR, marketing and consumer services, in both the UK and New Zealand provided an excellent range of skills and broad based experience to share with candidates and clients alike.

Relocating from the UK to NZ myself – has provided a practical understanding and empathy of the 3 ‘R’s (recruitment, relocation and resettlement). I have a strong appreciation of the planning and documentation involved throughout the process and well remember and understand how it feels to move to a new country.

"I’ve always been really proud to be part of the Gold Standard Locums team, and involved throughout its development - especially knowing we are supporting the ‘health network’ of New Zealand. It has been an amazing journey - incredibly rewarding! To add to this, the pleasure of helping many of our Doctors realise their dream to experience the lifestyle opportunities in New Zealand, is fantastic! I look forward to helping you."
