We are located in Orbost. It's a town of 2000, located 5 hours east of Melbourne in the heart of East Gippsland... It's a great business with loads of potential.

The problem is I haven't figured out how to be in two places at once.

Which means the great ideas and projects we come up with don't get prioritised as well as they should. So I need a Practice Manager to help me out.

Someone with some skills I don't have so I can focus on what I love and do best... Taking care of animals and mentoring and growing the skills of our team!

You'll be ideal for the role if:
You thrive on personal growth and improvement; You have proven leadership and business management skills; You can deliver on projects and commitments, and; You are passionate about creating an extraordinary customer experience.

What I most need help with is...
HR management, including recruitment, induction, training, administration and performance management; Implementing marketing projects; Managing and improving client experience; Inventory, stock control and expense management.

Good news is...
You don't necessarily need Vet industry experience...

And this is a well paid career opportunity with the option of a flexible work schedule for someone looking to make a lasting impact in a small country town!

This is a part time position of 20 – 25 hours per week.

To apply:
Please forward a copy of your resume and cover letter to accounts@thevetandco.au
