An exciting opportunity has become available for a companion animal veterinarian to join a friendly and well-established practice on New Zealand’s North Island.
The role offers a varied caseload, with 60% to 70% of the work involving working dogs.
Experience or interest in orthopaedic surgery would be a valuable asset and is highly regarded. Veterinarians with special interests are encouraged to pursue them, and the clinic provides a generous CPD allowance to support professional development.
This modern, well-equipped clinic features purpose-built consulting rooms, fully stocked pharmacies, sterile surgical suites, diagnostic imaging (including x-ray and ultrasound), and dedicated hospitalisation areas that are carefully monitored to ensure optimal patient care.
Located in a region celebrated for its world-class wineries and surf beaches, the area combines semi-rural charm with a stunning coastal lifestyle. Whether you prefer the convenience of city living or the tranquillity of the countryside, this location offers the best of both worlds.
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.’
