This privately owned practice in Darwin is looking for an experienced small animal veterinarian to join their four-vet team.

As well as seeing a good range of small animal cases, the practice also works closely with two different wildlife groups and treats wildlife cases at the clinic every day.

The successful applicant will work out of a spacious, well-equipped hospital. Equipment includes ultrasound, digital x-ray, IM3 Dental machine, endoscope, in-house laboratory and full anaesthetic suite with good monitoring equipment.

There is a good caseload, and consults are scheduled for either fifteen or thirty minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.

The employer at the practice places emphasis on the well-being of her staff. Vets are supported by experienced nurses, and a specialist surgeon visits every second month.

Registration with the Northern Territory vet board is paid by the practice, as well as a CPD allowance. Continuing education is encouraged, and special interests will be supported.

The employer is willing to assist with a work permit (sponsorship) for suitable overseas candidates. Applicants must have a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (or equivalent) and be eligible for registration as a veterinary practitioner in Australia.

The relaxed city of Darwin boasts a great climate. It is close to national parks and offers the opportunity to enjoy the laid back tropical lifestyle of the Northern Territory with its endless outdoor activities. Bush-walking in the outback, camping, fishing and horse riding are all on the doorstep.
