LONGFORD, NORTHERN MIDLANDS - SMALL ANIMAL POSITION IN MIXED

Full Time Small Animal or Predominantly Small Animal Vet Role in Mixed Practice Clinic - Veterinarian Required

Would you like to work 9 days a week and have no after hours as part of a fun, supportive team in a brand-new, purpose-built clinic?

Longford Vets is a locally owned and operated Clinic based in Longford, Tasmania. We’re on the hunt for another veterinarian to join our team of 9 and are hoping that you might be the right fit for our team. The role would be entirely or predominantly small animal focused although mixed or equine vets are welcome to apply. Experience is preferred but new grads will also be considered.

We are looking for someone who is a great communicator, enjoys working as part of a team, is a hard worker, enjoys a joke, and strives for good outcomes for patients and clients alike.

Our team is fun, experienced, young and dynamic, and strives to practice high quality veterinary medicine. We are a very supportive workplace, and enjoy helping each other through difficult cases – our vets have a range of experience levels and are easy going and approachable. Our clients are friendly, appreciative, and generally very happy to work up cases.

Tasmania is an amazing place to live and work with endless outdoor activities (hiking, mountain biking, trail running, climbing, fishing) as well as an array of wineries, restaurants, cafes and events. The Launceston airport is 10 minutes from Longford and you can be in Melbourne in under an hour or Sydney in under 2 hours. Launceston is the main centre for the north of the state and is 15min drive and Hobart in the south is 2.5hrs drive.

Our current caseload is approximately 70% small animals and 30% large animals (with a mix of dairy, beef, horses, small ruminants and wildlife). Our clinic is very well equipped with: In-house haematology and biochemistry; Digital Radiography; Small Animal Ultrasound; IM3 Dental Unit; Pulse Oximetry; Blood Pressure Monitoring; Ap-Alert’s; Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Surgical Equipment; Surgical Suction; IV Fluid Pumps; Rhinoscope; and Video Endoscope.

Please click here to see photos!

We’re lucky enough to have had an emergency small animal clinic open in Launceston within the last year so this position wouldn’t require any afterhours for a small animal only position.

The remuneration package offered includes: a 9-day fortnight; your salary (up to $140,000 per annum negotiated with experience); 4-weeks of annual leave; your AVA membership (including SIG); your Tasmanian State Board registration; 1-week of study leave; and an annual continuing education allowance.

Our clinic opening hours are from 8:30 am – 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

If it all sounds good but you want to suss us out, we would love to have potential candidates do a week or two of locum with us to get the ‘lay of the land’

If this sounds like it could be your dream job, please email your CV or resume to us at admin@longfordvets.com.au, along with the contact details of at least two referees. We look forward to hearing from you!

LAUNCESTON, NORTHERN TASMANIA - SMALL ANIMAL

NOT YOUR AVERAGE CLINIC

The Animal Medical Centre is Tasmania’s largest companion animal practice and has a varied caseload, both surgical and medical.

Located on one site, but consisting of two buildings, we have a dog clinic and an ISFM gold standard cat clinic.

We have 12 vets and over 30 nurses and receptionists all working to get the very best result for our patients and their owners. Our first opinion clinic is well known within Launceston for providing high quality care and great service for our clients.

We receive referral cases from the North of Tasmania and regularly perform advanced surgeries (soft tissue and orthopaedic), as well as oncology, imaging and acupuncture referrals.

Please click here to see photos!

We want you to be the best you can be!

In our practice our vets and nurses help and look out for each other.
Our experienced vets help mentor our newer vets and it pays to listen to our fantastic nurses- they often have made the diagnosis before the vet!
We encourage and support our vets to pursue their interests- many of our vets have their niches which allows us to refer in house.
This makes our team proficient in imaging, soft tissue surgery, medicine, orthopaedics, oncology, ophthalmology and acupuncture.

But what about you?

Are you a newer vet who wants to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of our vets?
Or are you an experienced vet keen to work with a great team of peers?
Do you want to work part time or full time?
Our practice is big enough and flexible to fit in with what you want to do.
Do you want to practice feline medicine? Or do you want to do dogs only? Or both? You choose!

Of course you already know that Tasmania is the place to be. Post Covid, Launceston has seen an influx of new residents who have moved for the fresh air, our lifestyle and the quality of life we enjoy. Our town has a great university and café vibe, and is a fantastic base for hiking, mountain biking or the beaches.

Not sure if you’re ready to commit?

How about try before you buy- come and work as a casual and see that we can put our money where our mouth is.

Are you ready to take the next step?
