Darwin - Durack - 4 vet small animal practice

DURACK, DARWIN - SMALL ANIMAL

Full or Part Time Vet Position

We are seeking a veterinary surgeon to join our expanding team at University Avenue Vet Hospital and Darwin My Vet Service!

About us:

We are 100% small animal
We have all the toys; dedicated operating theatres, separate dog and cat wards, IDEXX machines, digital x-ray, new ESAOTE ultrasounds (they’re awesome!), digital dental radiographs, a video endoscope and orthopaedic equipment (locking plate system)
Our vets don’t leave us for local clinics – we only have vacancies if vets move interstate or have babies (and they still come back)
We’re a close knit, relaxed team and work efficiently together
We have a good work life balance with 2 nights a month on call, and we all work together to leave on time
Awesome support staff and qualified nurses
2 established clinics both kitted out and operate independently (neither is a “branch” clinic)
We are family friendly and will accommodate working parents and kids are always included on team social activities
Lovely clients! We have a great practice manager who is very supportive of our team. We also work closely with NT Police dog unit, Department of Corrections dog squad, Military Police, Emergency Detection Dogs, Greyhound Rehoming Association, Top End Rehoming and Wildcare NT.

About you:

You love the profession and wish to provide best practice medicine and excellent patient care
You enjoy coming to work and seeing the team, but also enjoy going home on time!
You want a good work life balance with minimal after hours and weekend work
Ideally you’re experienced and confident with routine medicine and surgery, however, if there are areas you need to develop or complex cases you’ve got experienced colleagues to turn to
You have special interests whether that’s surgery, medicine, exotics etc… we’ll encourage and develop your niche
You know your limitations and are happy to be involved in group case discussions and internally refer cases as needed
We’d love you to be full time (38 hours per week) but permanent part time also considered
You want to expand your skills through relevant CPD ongoing, we will support you in this
You want to live in tropical Darwin and never feel cold again and be closer to Asia for long weekends in Bali. We have the best markets and laksa!

Employee Testimonials:

"Family friendly employment! Moving from interstate, away from family and friends with a small child was challenging enough. Yet to find employment that supported your families availabilities with some extra personal challenges along the way has hands down been a winner! To be supported, listened to and able to work on personal & professional goals has enabled me to build my village again and am so honoured to be apart of this amazing team and have met some beautiful people I now call family." Kind Regards; Chantelle Leverton
