Vet Vacancy Victoria - 201,493DP

A full time position has become available for a vet at a mixed practice in regional Victoria.

The role can be tailored to suit the successful applicant. They can choose to work full or part-time hours. A family-friendly roster can be negotiated.

The hospital was recently purpose-built and has all the equipment and facilities to practise high-quality veterinary medicine.

The caseload has a mainly small animal bias, with a wide array of both surgical and medical cases. The facilities allow for thorough work-ups with digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, in-house laboratory. There are also high-quality surgeries and orthopaedic equipment available for both routine and more advanced surgery.

They also see routine equine work, including colics, geldings, lameness work-ups and stitch-ups. The practice also has equine facilities on site. This includes undercover stabling, two crushes, equine scales and knockdown and recovery rooms. There are also equine holding paddocks.

Vets are well-supported by excellent full and part-time nursing and support staff. There is a strong emphasis on the discussion of cases during daily rounds. The job could suit someone looking for the diversity of mixed practice or someone looking to focus on a more specific area of veterinary medicine, given the high caseload.

Continuing education and special interests are encouraged.
