(HEO7) $95,017 to $106,270 plus an annual employer contribution of 17% superannuation.

Shift loading may apply with Overtime paid at penalty rates

SA Veterinary Registration and Radiation License paid by the employer.

Continuing Role

The University’s School of Animal & Veterinary Science is seeking to employ a Veterinarian Clinician in the Roseworthy Veterinary Hospital (RVH) to provide services in Emergency and Critical Care, and to provide clinical mentoring and guidance to final year veterinary and veterinary technology students.

Here is your opportunity to work in a friendly closely-knit team of experienced Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) and GP clinicians, supported by specialists and superb nursing and support staff. You will be a clinical mentor to final year DVM students, and your high standard of clinical and professional behaviour will provide a valuable professional role model for them. Working with their enthusiasm to get involved with case management, you will help to educate the upcoming generation of veterinarians.

The ECC team aims to provide 24/7 emergency and critical care services for a varied and dynamic caseload of small animal patients with on-site ultrasound, X-ray and CT imaging and the support of a dedicated radiographer. A few seconds away is the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, invaluable for fast turnaround of clinical pathology samples and direct contact with pathologists for case discussion.

Further study and continuing professional development activities are encouraged and supported with time off and up to $3,000 per annum available to spend on your choice of CPD. Other benefits include free full access to international journals through the University Library plus VIN membership.

All that and this too: the RVH, located on the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy Campus, is surrounded by great lifestyle opportunities.

We are situated on the doorstep of the Barossa Valley, an internationally renowned wine region and a delightful part of the world. We have easy access to beaches, sporting activities, benchmark schools and shopping facilities. There is easy access to the city and its many attractions. Adelaide is known as a cultural centre, with its hugely successful Festival of the Arts, and as a sports-mad destination.

To be successful you will need:

Qualification in Veterinary Science acceptable for Veterinarian registration in South Australia.
Demonstrated veterinary experience in first opinion general practice and/or emergency services will be an advantage, but recent graduates will be considered.
Demonstrated high level communication and interpersonal skills including the ability to work effectively with a diverse range of clients and team members.
Demonstrated enthusiasm and experience in assisting, teaching or mentoring others.
Demonstrated high level written communication skills, including the ability to keep detailed, accurate medical records and write professional referral letters and client correspondence.

PORT LINCOLN, EYRE PENINSULA - SMALL ANIMAL

Join our team in the stunning coastal area at Port Lincoln, South Australia!

About us:

Lincoln Veterinary Centre in South Australia are currently seeking a Veterinarian who is highly motivated and looking for an exciting diverse clinical environment.

Why would you want to work in a busy city practice when you can work in a relaxed regional environment, where it only takes you five minutes to get to work?

Imagine working in a rural area where you don’t have to do any large animals and you can just focus on providing a high level of service to the local pets from a very well-equipped clinic.

The clinic is located in Ravendale House, a heritage listed building originally built to house Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s Colonial Officers. Externally the building is stunning and original, but inside there has been extensive renovations, including an extension, to accommodate a modern architecturally design vet clinic.

Within the practice there is a highly skilled and dedicated team passionate about educating our clients to ensure an exemplary standard of health and well- being for their pets.

The clinic has an interesting case load, and because we are a 7-hour drive to a referral practice many cases will stay in house.

To add interest and a service to the surrounding regional areas we conduct remote clinics, the furthest being 4 hours drive away.

The role:

What would you do if you knocked off work at 5.30pm? The options might include heading out for a fish or going for a walk in the National Park that is right at your doorstep. That’s right the clinic is open between civilised hours, 8am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturday. Yes, we do provide an afterhours service, but with the right quota of vets that would be only one weekend in 4 or 5. As afterhours can be stressful on your own, we have a nurse also rostered on call, so you never have to worry about who is going to help. By the way, the after-hours compensation is among the most generous you'll find, which definitely helps make the extra hours more manageable.

As you may have guessed we are talking about a rural coastal area, that includes some of the best facilities around, one of which is an airport that is serviced by both Qantas and Rex.

Internship/residency in Small Animal Surgery

The Austin Vet Specialists (www.theaustin.vet) continues to grow! With the new creation of an ECVS residency position, our previous intern is now a resident.

Therefore, we are looking for a new Intern in Small Animal Surgery to join our team.

This is an internship with potential to extend into a residency in Small Animal Surgery. We are looking for hard-working, proactive people with excellent communication skills and a positive demeanour.

The Internship:
The Internship is a one-year fulltime (4 days week + rotating weekend discharges and on call) clinical position with a start date as soon as possible (ideally early 2025). The goal is to give the Intern a deeper knowledge and gain experience within the field of small animal surgery.

The daily work will revolve around the participation in the small animal surgery service as well as providing collaborative care of the patients in hospital.

The Intern will scrub into a wide range of advanced soft tissue, orthopaedic and neurosurgeries, as well as active involvement in the pre-operative and post-operative care.

Needless to say, the Intern can expect full support and instruction (including journal club, film reading and other teaching), but initiative and desire to pursue further specialisation will be advantageous. We are an approved ECVS training centre and, for the right person, this internship would be a stepping stone into further training programmes.

Previous rotating internship is useful but not essential
Willingness to participate in rotating roster including weekends
