An opportunity is available for an experienced companion animal veterinarian to join a practice in Canterbury.
This part-time role would suit a confident general practitioner with at least three years of experience who enjoys a varied medical and surgical caseload.
The successful applicant will be a capable all-rounder with strong time management and sound clinical decision-making skills. Interests in medicine, surgery or emergency care would be welcomed. The practice is looking for someone resilient and team-focused, with a growth mindset, a good sense of humour and a genuine interest in continued professional development.
This is a supportive working environment where CPD is encouraged. The team values collaboration, open communication and a practical approach to patient care. An interest in future practice ownership would also be welcomed.
There is no small animal after-hours requirement. The successful applicant will participate in a rolling weekend roster, working Saturday from 8:30 am to 4 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. After working a rostered weekend, team members receive a delayed weekend the following week, providing a four-day break. There is also flexibility to split this time across Monday and Friday.
The practice is equipped to support a broad range of companion animal medical and surgical work. Equipment includes digital X-ray, endoscopy, fluoroscopy and an extensive range of orthopaedic equipment, including an Orthomed locking plating kit, an MMP tibial tuberosity advancement kit and RidgeStop patella luxation repair equipment.
The location offers a relaxed lifestyle with easy access to the wider attractions of the Canterbury Region and the Southern Alps. The region is well suited to those who enjoy fishing, boating, tramping, climbing and skiing.
