About the Role

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their career in a vibrant and supportive environment, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and the provision of high-quality clinical services. As part of our team, you will help shape the future of veterinary education and clinical practice in small animal medicine. You will be joining a welcoming team of academic and professional veterinarians, consisting of three surgeons, two medical oncologists, an anaesthesia service, a 24-hr emergency service, and general practitioners. We maintain a highly collaborative and collegial clinical environment, and strive to demonstrate our passion for veterinary medicine and lifelong learning to our rotating DVM students.

This position would involve a mixture of clinical, teaching, research and administrative responsibilities that can be catered to the strengths of the candidate.

We have dedicated teaching and animal handling facilities and a herd of approximately 30 teaching horses. We are continuing to develop the clinical services, including plans for commencing residency programs in the near future, and developing our research capabilities.

The large animal team consists of internal medicine specialists, surgeons, an equine sports medicine specialist, junior/ hospital veterinarians, and ambulatory clinicians. We are supported by a team of experienced nurses and anaesthetists. Whilst the bulk of our caseload is equine related, we also provide primary opinion services to the local hobby farm animal owners.

The School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences is located on a 1600 hectare property at the Roseworthy campus. The campus is situated on the doorstep of the Barossa Valley - an internationally renowned wine region, beaches, sporting activities, benchmark schools, and shopping facilities. It is South Australia's only veterinary school and constitutes a team of leading animal and veterinary science academics.

BLACKWOOD, ADELAIDE HILLS - SMALL ANIMAL/EMERGENCY

About Pawprints:
Pawprints Afterhours is a growing emergency facility located in the Adelaide Hills at Blackwood. Co-located with the Hills Veterinary Centre, Pawprints has been established to provide a non-corporate option for after hours work that supplies patient focused medicine.

Currently operating as an urgent care centre, Pawprints services all of Adelaide, providing a much needed emergency and after hours service for the south side suburbs. Recent expansion has the operating hours as:
Mon- Friday 8pm-8am
24 Hours Sat/Sun

With all the latest in equipment to make your job as an emergency clinician easy, Pawprints aims to establish itself as the standard for care here in Adelaide.

About Adelaide:
Adelaide is known by its many festivals and sporting events (home to Australia's cycling and equestrian sports!) food and wine as well as its beautiful coastline along the Adelaide Hills. A large town (Australis 5th largest!) which really doesn't feel like city living.

The Position:
Pawprints is seeking a veterinarian to fill out our roster to help improve the work-life balance of everyone involved. The position will rotate through the nights, and the weekend day shifts on a 3 week rota. It will be a mix of consulting and hospital work, and support is always available, no matter the hour.

As expansion into a full 24 hr service (and purpose fit out facility!) is on track to occur by early 2025, this will allow you to become established within the company which brings privileges in the long term.

Why Pawprints?

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.

We would love to help you develop your career while still having enough down time to enjoy what life has to offer.

Sounds great! How do I apply?
