Considering a tree change?
Seeking a regional city lifestyle?
A forward-thinking, progressive hospital in regional Victoria is seeking a full time vet to join the team.
The successful applicant will receive constant support from senior vets (each with over 20 years of experience), who can assist in case discussion and provide ongoing mentoring.
The practice offers team consulting, with a dedicated, qualified nurse in every consult for optimal support.
Nurses at the practice are very experienced and highly skilled, helping vets' workdays to run smoothly by assisting with in-house lab work, catheter placement, blood collection, radiography and more!
The practice has dedicated administration staff, enabling vets to focus on being vets.
The ASAV Accredited Hospital of Excellence clinic provides modern, professional health care to small animals.
Being three hours from the nearest referral centre, the role offers the opportunity to treat a larger variety of cases than the average city GP vet (referral is still an option if required).
This is a great position for those looking for a good work-life balance, peace and quiet, vast open spaces and a connection with nature!
A typical full-time role involves a four-day working week with one rostered weekday off (plus weekends).
After hours is shared (1:4) with a neighbouring clinic.
An experienced team of tele-triage nurses answer calls to minimise vet disturbance.
Vets receive a day off after an on-call weekend.
Vets can expect to work with modern facilities and equipment, including digital DR radiography, ultrasound, digital dental radiography, endoscopy, electrocautery, video otoscope, patient monitoring, anaesthetic monitoring equipment and a fully equipped in-house IDEXX lab, including Sedivue machine and more!
Applicants must have a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (or equivalent) and be eligible for registration as a veterinary practitioner in Australia.
Relocation assistance will be provided.
Some additional benefits include: paid parental leave, genuine support for CE, five days paid volunteer leave, AVA membership and VSB registration, subscriptions to VIN, CVE, Plumbs App and access to an online library plus an extra paid day of annual leave.
Regular training and good communication are important at the practice.
The practice closes for two hours each week for in-house training.
Special interests, growth and development are encouraged.
The practice invests in vets and values the skills they bring.
As such, remuneration exceeds market expectations, with no unpaid overtime expected!
The clinic is located in a large regional centre in Western Victoria.
It is approximately three hours from Melbourne.
The town has art festivals, musical performances, an art gallery, major sporting events and family-friendly activities.
There are also many recreational clubs, restaurants, schools, parks and gardens.
For the outdoor types, there are lakes and popular rock-climbing areas located nearby, as well as some of Victoria's most beautiful national parks and wineries.
