Please click here to see photos!
New graduates are welcome to apply, in fact we are especially accustomed to train new graduates who learn twice as fast in half the time compared to most other clinics who tend to leave new graduates to their own devices. Joerg, the owner and senior vet particularly enjoys training new graduates and building up their medical and surgical and general confidence by working together through each new surgical and medical case for the first time, following a textbook approach from day one.
- Both clinics are equipped to state-of-the art level with excellent facilities to include latest Wi-Fi DR X-ray, state of the art ultrasound, in-house biochemistry and haematology, endoscopy, video otoscopy, e.g., tonometry, the list goes on.
- We are non-corporate, low volume – high value clinic with excellent support staff ratio. Our knowledgeable and well-trained nurses and vet techs triage and assist during consultations and are versed in taking blood samples, intravenous injections, taking x-rays and carry out laboratory procedures, but also provide cost estimates to customers. This lack of distraction allows you to concentrate on what you are doing best, to fully work up cases to reach a diagnosis and to concentrate on performing medical and surgical procedures.
- We are able to carry out most advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures in-house, apart from spinal surgery.
- Our cloud-based veterinary software from the US is the most advanced on the market today and is unique (in NZ) to our clinic allowing for super-efficient communication with customers and amongst the staff.
- The after/ hours service is shared equally and low volume. The nurses take the calls and only disturb the vet when a patient comes into the clinic, which does not happen very often.
- 40 hours per week, No OOH, 1:3 Saturdays with a day off in lieu
- above average remuneration
- $5000 relocation allowance
- Last, but not least, we have very good team dynamics, the clinic organises and pays regular outings to the restaurant, and we have weekly yoga sessions!

SOUTHLAND - OTAUTAU - MIXED PRACTICE
Looking for a change of scene or a whole new adventure? The NZ Borders are re-opening in May 2022 and we are looking for an enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. So here are the reasons why you should consider this role.
- We are flexible in the role we are looking to fill;
- We are looking for a mixed practitioner, but a large or small animal bias can be accommodated.
- Whilst our preference would be for a full-time Vet, we can be flexible in the hours we are looking to fill; with several part-time staff, we understand that Monday-Friday 8.30am-5.30pm may not be the easiest to manage with family or other commitments.
- Wellness in the workplace and a positive work-life balance are important to us;
- We are open 8.30am-5.30pm, with no weekend clinics and a 1-in-6 OOH roster or better throughout the year, apart from 10-12 weeks in Spring where we have two Vets on-call.
- We have a Veterinary Nurse on-call over the weekend to assist with emergencies and in-patient care during the busier Spring period.
- Emergencies permitting, we try to ensure that everyone gets their allocated breaks and finishes on time.
- We have a great team of Vets of varying experience and someone is always happy to lend a hand if more hands, more experience or just some friendly encouragement is required.
- We encourage CPD and offer a generous allowance,
- We have an established client base, the vast majority of whom are friendly, polite, and understanding of other work commitments and emergencies.
- We enjoy a light-hearted work environment, so a good sense of humour is a must!
- We are a truly mixed practice;
- Dairy comprises the majority of the large animal work; we have some great clients who give us the opportunity for involvement in their business on a more intensive basis, so we have vets trained in InCalf, Healthy Hoof and with interests in Dairy Nutrition.
- There is a good mix of sheep, beef, deer & horse work, with scope to grow these areas of the practice.
- The companion animal side of our practice is continually growing and we see a lot of challenging medicine, soft tissue and orthopaedic cases.
- With the nearest referral practice in Christchurch, we perform a lot of surgery in-house, proving to be both challenging and incredibly rewarding for all of our vets.
- With our team of four Diploma-qualified Veterinary Nurses, one of whom also doubles up as a Rural Animal Technician, we have plenty of support available to ensure optimal care for our patients.
- We live and work in a beautiful part of the world.
- Beautiful beaches 30 minutes away, mountains 2 hours away and the most stunning ‘office’ scenery to drive through on a daily basis.
- Otautau is 40 minutes from Invercargill, 2 hours from Queenstown and there are direct flights to both Christchurch and Auckland from Invercargill.
- We have an abundance of outdoor sporting opportunities, but if this isn’t your thing, we also have excellent local indoor sporting facilities to cover most interests.
- With the buoyant economy here in Southland and most industries crying out for staff, there are plenty of job opportunities for partners making the move with you.

Experienced and supportive team members? Fun? Highly skilled nurses? Private practice with no corporate demands? Mod cons? Lots of toys? Supportive on-site management?
We can offer all that. WE ARE FULLY STAFFED. All we want is an experienced full-time vet (5+ years) to compliment the rest of the team and offer the clinic something exciting and new. To allow us to grow and expand further. We even have space for as specialist to set up if they want to have their own place free from the big corporates. We have a recent graduate who we support religiously so cannot take on another sorry!
Please click here to see photos!
We are based in East Auckland, have a great reputation, growing all the time. We have the luxury of a big team who enjoy their work so lockdown, split teams and Covid isolations were all been pretty straight forward with most staff actually reducing hours on full pay. It is great to be out the other side but we are still doing our best to keep our staff safe and happy every day.
We really want a team player that can work efficiently and forge strong relationships with clients and patients. Good time management and happy to take the manic days along with the dead quiet ones. You even get to go home early some days, and you even get breaks! And our staff negotiate the hours they want to work and can work pro-rata for more or less.
We can offer you a supportive and experienced veterinary team who enjoy working up cases thoroughly and offering an exemplary standard of care. We have two fully qualified nurses for every veterinarian so you always have an extra set of superb hands available. They are skilled and can do absolutely anything you ask as well as being awesome mind readers!
CPD is encouraged and we are happy for our veterinarians to pursue special interests and we do some really cool stuff. We are in a good socio-economic area and many of our patients are insured, so work-ups are easily offered. We are also more than okay with firing crappy clients, we have zero tolerance of abuse. You won’t work Sundays, after-hours or public holidays. Saturdays are only half a day and rostered 1:4 with a whole day in lieu.
We have all the mod-cons, ultrasound, digital x-ray, dental x-ray, vetscan, sterile theatre, three consult rooms, IM3 dental machine, fluid pumps, auto injector syringe, bair huggers, water beds, central air conditioning and VIN membership.
This permanent role is suited to a veterinarian wanting to settle down long term. Any special interests welcomed, surgery/orthopedics, dentistry, medicine or even exotics if they float your boat. If you are keen to buy your own clinic in the future we can negotiate a succession plan!
Our veterinarians work efficiently, are great communicators and respect our amazing nurses. We expect our team to never be afraid to ask for help and all share cases and seek peer opinions if necessary. We are team players, hard workers, enjoy our work, have a laugh and this makes for a non-toxic environment! And most of all you don’t need to stress in your work day!
We have our own registered charity The Rock Vets that provides free healthcare and de-sexing clinics on Niue Island. These trips are incredible, life changing and an exciting highlight for keen staff that volunteer.
Pay is based on experience and you are paid what you are worth. Must have the right to work in NZ.
