GERALDINE, SOUTH CANTERBURY - MIXED
Are you a veterinarian who can relate to a wide range of clientele, enjoys interacting with people and fits into a team environment easily? If you are a new or recent graduate with drive and initiative, then this could be the position for you.
We are a privately owned business operating out of a purpose-built rural clinic in Geraldine.

You will find a digital x-ray, the latest BCF scanners and a dedicated in-house laboratory for on-site milk analysis, haematology, biochemistry and parasitology.
Please click here to see photos!
Our growth since opening eight years ago has been driven by the enthusiasm and energy of our close-knit team. Our support staff are friendly and competent, our qualified technicians are experienced and efficient.
The position will be varied, stimulating and exciting. Case load is predominantly dairy but we have enough sheep, beef and small animals to provide variety. This position could be large animal only depending on your interest. Case load is genuinely mixed including high country sheep stations, farm dog practice, dairy operations, stud deer and small animal practice. Data analysis using Infovet, preventative animal health plans, consultative services like In-Calf and financial benchmarking are an increasing component of the services we offer. This provides a dynamic work environment to achieve best practice for our clients.
Gorgeous Geraldine is a beautiful town in central South Canterbury, in the South Island of New Zealand. We are one hour from good ski fields and lakes for water skiing, the Rangitata is an ideal river for adventure sport training, and we are just one and a half hours to Christchurch and an international airport. It is an excellent place to bring up your family, with good schools and strong sports clubs.
We offer excellent collegial support, generous $3,000 annual CPD allowance, pay VCNZ fees, provide a fully equipped late model 4wd truck, cell phone, laptop and a competitive salary for the right applicant.
The quiet afterhours is rostered on 1 in 6 weekends with a day off following on-call (Friday to make it a long weekend).
Relocation expenses and travel for interviews will be reimbursed.
Opening hours for the clinic are 8.00am to 5pm Monday-Friday with no Saturday clinic.
Although a permanent placement is preferred, a locum placement or flexible hours can be considered initially.
Our client base is supportive, non-corporate and appreciative of the personal touch provided by our vets.

Our facilities and equipment are modern, and we are able to provide a wide range of services to our clients, despite our semi-rural location.
A recently completed extension to the clinic in Whangamata, and a near-completed renovation to our staff break/kitchen areas means you will be working in a comfortable environment.
We are open to either a full or part-time applicant and are happy to negotiate a working week that allows you the work/life balance you are after. Our area is renowned for its beautiful Coromandel beaches, host of outdoor activities (surfing, mountain-biking, water sport, golf, hunting, fishing, yoga) and busy café/food scene.
There is an expectation of after-hours roster participation, of one in four. Our after-hours system has been carefully designed, so that all calls are screened by a triage nurse first, meaning you will only ever receive calls from them, or from our production animal clients.
Additionally, for a weekend worked on-call, the following Monday is provided as a day-in-lieu, and each call-out attended earns you a generous payment, on top of your day-in-lieu. Companion animal callouts after 9pm are forwarded to nearby emergency centres, to minimise night-time disruptions.
The successful applicant may choose to base themselves in either Whangamata or Waihi, though all our companion animal hospitalisation occurs at our Whangamata branch.
Whangamata is located within easy driving distance of Tauranga (1h15min), Hamilton (1h40min) and Auckland (2h).
Ideally, you will have at least two years of experience, though a new/recent graduate with the right attitude will also be considered.
If you are interested in the role, please send an email, along with your CV and references to brandy@corovets.co.nz
Applications will be considered until the successful candidate has been found.
