MALVERN, INNER SOUTH ADELAIDE - ECC
Brand New Hospital Opening early October 2025
Emergency Veterinarian
Positions Available – Full-Time, Part-Time, and Casual
Help Us Redefine Emergency Veterinary Medicine
We started Nexus Emergency Vet Hospital because we knew there had to be a better way. After years in ECC, we found ourselves frustrated by flawed systems; systems that remove pets from their families at the worst moments, surprise clients with unexpected bills, burn out brilliant vets, and stall careers for lack of support or opportunity. Too often, there wasn’t time to pursue clinical interests or grow into leadership. Too often, we heard: “This is just how it’s done.”
We created Nexus to fix what’s broken – to honour the human-animal bond, to support clinicians as people, and to prove that exceptional medicine and sustainability can go hand-in-hand. The only way to do that? Get a group of like-minded ER vets together and rebuild it from the ground up.
If this resonates with you and you’re ready to do things differently—we’d love to meet.
Why Nexus?
- You Help Shape the Future: We’re a dynamic start-up, and your voice matters. From protocols to policies to culture—you’re part of building it all.
- Real Work-Life Balance: Flexible rosters and fair caseloads, and uncapped, unpaid leave for those who want to invest in travel, study, or personal priorities.
- Career Growth Without Limits: Whether your passion lies in mentorship, medical leadership, clinical excellence, or innovation, we’ll support your vision. We’re actively creating space for future roles that don’t exist in most hospitals.
- Specialist Support That’s Actually Supportive: 24/7 telemedicine access to critical care specialists who are dedicated to guiding you, not managing their own caseload.
- High-Quality Medicine, Backed by Innovation: Think mobile nano-tube radiology, Apple-based workflows, and a hospital built to enhance transparency and efficiency.
- Culture First, Always: We’re family-owned, values-driven, and believe that if the hospital thrives, so should the people in it.
Salary & Benefits
- Pay range: $128,000–$179,000/year based on experience and skillset
- Superannuation paid in addition to hourly rate
- Structured growth opportunities—we’ll work with you to develop a personalised professional development plan and support you in reaching higher pay tiers as your skills and goals evolve
- $2,500 annual CPD allowance with additional training supported when aligned with your career goals and our shared growth at Nexus.
- Uncapped, unpaid leave, subject to approval—we support time away for personal goals, family, study, or travel
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
- Provide high-quality emergency and critical care across a wide range of cases
- Communicate clearly and compassionately with pet owners, especially in emotionally charged situations
- Collaborate with your team and contribute to clinical and operational decision-making
- Mentor junior staff and students when appropriate
- Maintain accurate medical records and follow evidence-based practices
Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking experienced ECC veterinarians who are ready to do things differently. You’ll be part of our founding clinical team and help set the tone for high-quality, compassionate, and sustainable emergency care.
This is for you if:
- You’ve worked in ER and felt the system wasn’t built for pets, their families, or their vets, and you want to help fix it
- You believe in transparency, honesty, and trust with clients
- You thrive in a collaborative team and bring others along with you
- You’re excited about shaping the future of emergency medicine, and growing with us
Qualifications
- Veterinary degree registrable in South Australia
- Minimum 1 year of emergency experience, or equivalent (e.g. internship-trained)
- Strong clinical and diagnostic skills
- Memberships or advanced training are a bonus (and rewarded)
Apply Now
To be part of something extraordinary, please send your resume and a short cover letter to Jaclyn Gosliga at careers@nevh.com.au
