We are a large and busy small animal practice with an on-site, independent Emergency Service.

We’re looking for an experienced small animal vet to join our team with an immediate start available for the right candidate. However, we will also consider new and recent graduates for the role.

• A generous salary commensurate with experience, including paid study leave. $65,000.00 – $90,000.00 plus superannuation pa or negotiable for the right candidate.
• A set rotating roster, including the occasional Saturday (we are closed on Sundays).
• The opportunity to build upon your small animal skills with amazing clients.
• No after hours – we have an onsite, independent Emergency service with whom we work very closely, meaning the hospital is open 24/7, 365 days a year.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Have excellent team work and communication skills
• Love being in a team environment,

A little more about us:
We actively promote preventative medicine, particularly in:

• Animal behaviour (running 4-7 puppy classes per week),
• Orthopaedics (PennHIP and JPS),
• Nutrition and dental care, amongst other things.

We have two excellent ultrasonographers who receive referrals from other practices, a busy in-house laboratory, and do many interesting procedures and surgeries every day. We refer to an excellent team of specialists within Canberra and have both eye and dermatology specialists visiting on a regular basis.

We operate an after-hours emergency service from our premises, ensuring our in-patients get the best of overnight care and our clients have the peace of mind of on-site out of hours attention. It also means no out of hours duties for vets and nurses!
