Would you like a mix of work tailored to you?

The mix of work is somewhat negotiable with the practice seeing small animals, cattle (predominantly dairy and some beef) and small ruminants. This role will involve minimal horse work.

The team see a great client base of progressive dairy and beef farmers that trust the vets with the care of their animals. The team includes 100% small animal vets, 100% production animal vets, mixed vets and a registered equine specialist!

The practice values their employees and provides a number of additional support services, including one week's study leave, AVA membership, VSB registration and the Employee Assistance Program. Vets also benefit from paid parental leave, paid volunteer leave and various travel and retail discounts.

You will have access to a fully-equipped hospital which has recently undergone extensive renovation and expansion, including four consult rooms, a dedicated room for dentistry, imaging including CT, a huge surgical theatre and treatment area, plus hydrotherapy and rehabilitation. There are full equine surgery facilities and everything needed for cattle work.

The practice is also only a 45-minute drive from the beautiful southeast coast and within easy reach of some excellent snow fields. The area is great for those with a love of food, wine, nature and wildlife!
