A large, multi-vet practice in Tasmania is seeking a veterinarian to join the team. This position would suit a vet who is interested in both medicine and surgery. Great communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment are essential.

Both new graduates and experienced veterinarians are encouraged to apply.

This is, ideally a full-time role. However, part-time hours will also be considered. The vet will join an 8-week rotating roster, working on average 32-38 hours per week.

Special interests are encouraged and will be fostered. Support and mentoring are on offer from experienced vets within the team. Special interests currently include surgery and feline medicine.

Feedback from a Cambridge 2000 graduate:

I have been working at this practice since August 2020. It is a very busy practice. I enjoy working with a team of like-minded people who always try to get the job done to the best standard possible. The caseload is mainly dogs and cats with some rabbits. Because of the size of the practice, we see some unusual things. We also can't refer much, so most things are done in-house. I am presented with a new challenge every day. I am currently doing a soft-tissue surgery course, and the practice owners make sure that I have the caseload to progress with this. The after-hours can be busy, however, you are well remunerated for this. There is almost always a day off after being on call. I do more here than other practices I have worked at, which is really satisfying. The practice equipment is good. In this position, I feel well rewarded, both financially and emotionally. The town is big enough for a family. There are good schools, and everyone is very friendly.
