MILE END, INNER W ADELAIDE - SMALL ANIMAL/SPECIALIST, URGENT CARE/INTERNSHIP COMPONENT New Position

Urgent Care+ Vet (full-time)

This is NEW role with UNIQUE components – read on if learning and career development excites you!

An exciting opportunity has opened for an Urgent Care+ Vet (full-time permanent) to join our Urgent Care team. This role comes with unique benefits (hence the +).

The role:
This new full-time role combines elements of internship, independent Vet and Urgent Care Vet. You will be doing:

Urgent Care consults and case management Mon-Fri with support/guidance of our specialist departments (e.g. neurological exam by surgery, ultrasound/CT by imaging, treatment advice from Internal Medicine)
Rotations through the specialist departments (e.g. learn to ultrasound, learn surgical skills and workup, learn medicine case management) 4-12 weeks per annum
Urgent Care on weekends and nights with on call and/or in person support

You will rotate through Urgent Care (available 24/7) as well as the various specialist departments, providing the best possible care for patients, learning best practice/specialist knowledge, and using all the equipment. On a daily basis, you will interact and learn from a supportive specialist team (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Imaging, Ophthalmology). These are also available 24/7 either in person or on call.

If you get excited about taking your career to the next level, enjoy the excitement of urgent care and emergency work, and want to be a part of a friendly and dynamic environment, join us!

What is unique?
You will spend up to 12 weeks per annum rotating through the specialist departments to learn and immerse yourself in specialty departments (although more weeks can be discussed), with the remainder of the time participating in the Urgent Care department (weekdays, nights and weekends).

You will have more autonomy and responsibility than an internship, and be provided with more specialist rotations than our part-time Urgent Care Vet positions. As a result, remuneration lies between these two positions. The starting salary for this position is $95,000, with the potential for a higher salary based on prior experience and industry acumen. We are open to negotiating this to align with qualifications, experience, and the rotated number of weeks.

This is a full-time position (three positions available) and the roster will rotate Mon-Sun between various shifts, including nights and weekends. The position is permanent, or until you decide you’ve learned enough (is there every such a thing?!) or want to move to a full-time Urgent Care role.

About The Austin:
Our custom-built hospital (1200m2) is designed around a synergistic approach to patient care. Between specialist departments in surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology and imaging, we work as one team to ensure outstanding patient care and exceptional customer service.

Our hospital has all the instruments necessary to enable our team to relish their chosen careers, and flourish. This includes intensive care facilities, large central treatment area, surgery wing, full suite of imaging equipment and dedicated medicine room.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and expertise:

Veterinary degree that is recognised in South Australia
Minimum of 2+ years of demonstrable patient care experience
Desire to develop career in Urgent Care/Emergency and Critical Care
Possess initiative and a positive mindset

Please note that applications will close 7th April 2025 unless the positions are filled prior to this date so submit your application promptly.

ROSEWORTHY - SMALL ANIMAL, INTERNAL MEDICINE

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor – Small Animal Medicine

Full Time | Continuing

The School of Animal & Veterinary Sciences is seeking a dynamic and highly skilled Small Animal Internal Medicine Clinician. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to clinical services, teaching, and research within a collaborative academic environment.

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. Clinical responsibilities would entail primary case management and the re-establishment of this specialty service at the Roseworthy Veterinary Hospital (RVH). Teaching contributions are primarily needed within the 2nd and clinical years of the DVM curriculum, but opportunities also exist to educate new graduates on staff as general practitioners in the RVH, as well as nurses and nursing students. Research and administrative contributions will be dependent on the experience and interest of the candidate.

About the Practice:

The Roseworthy Veterinary Hospital (RVH) provides a range of first opinion, ambulatory, and specialist veterinary care across all animal species to the general public and referring veterinarians. The RVH has excellent facilities including an outstanding Large Animal Hospital, Companion Animal Hospital, and an on-site Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. 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.
