A practice in New Zealand’s North Island is looking for an experienced companion animal veterinarian to join their team.
The successful applicant will be leading the companion animal department. You will need experience and enthusiasm for this opportunity.
60% to 70% of the workload is working dogs. Orthopaedic surgical skills would be an advantage.
Special interests are encouraged, and a generous CPD allowance is included.
The clinic is modern and well-equipped with consulting rooms, well-stocked pharmacies, sterile surgical suites, x-ray and ultrasound capabilities, and closely supervised hospitalisation areas.
The area is known for its wineries and surf beaches, combining its semi-rural charm with an amazing coastline. It is the perfect place to allow you to choose whether you would like to be a city dweller or enjoy rural life!
Comments from a Washington State 2012 graduate:
‘It’s the best job I have had as a vet so far: high workload but low stress. We have fun at work, and I enjoy it so much. I think a vet who would be suited needs to be fast-paced, adaptable, have quite good surgical skills, enjoy a rural environment and be open-minded to learn new stuff. There is the opportunity to do some large animal work if one wanted to. I like working with horses, so I absolutely can do a horse call if I want to. Really, it’s a GREAT place to work.’
