SORELL, NORTH EAST OF HOBART - SMALL ANIMAL

We are looking for the right person to join our team!

The veterinary industry is a challenging environment to work in, and support from your employer and team members is vital in this environment. That is what we offer. Proactive management to ensure the day runs as smoothly as possible, and support from the rest of the team.

We truly value our staff. We are looking for someone that is laid back but has a good work ethic and is a team player. We expect high standards of patient care and look to have fun at work whilst maintaining our professional focus.

Our hours of operation are 8:00am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday and 9:00am to 12pm on a Saturday. Saturday shift rotation is 1-in-4. We are closed on Sundays and public holidays. There are no after hours duties. We are fortunate to have a local after hours emergency hospital to which we can refer overnight patients.

We are a busy, general small animal practice seeing 99% dogs and cats. Our head vet and practice owner, Nathan, is partial to pet goats and sheep and they occasionally enter the clinic to the delight of the locals! As the practice and the team grows, we may start to offer large animal services.

Please click here to see photos!

In Tasmania we do not have the luxury of being able to refer cases to specialist practices easily. We have a travelling surgeon to do orthopaedic or complex soft tissue surgeries. The upside of this is that we are forced to “keep it in-house”. With a good textbook, a chat with a colleague or specialist and most importantly, confidence and team support, you will flourish with more advanced procedures beyond the basic procedures. Nathan, head vet and practice owner has a special interest in dentistry and performs a variety of advanced and complex dental procedures and some maxillofacial surgery.

We are very well equipped with the usual toys (DR, ultrasound, in-house pathology), including dental radiology, electrocautery and suction unit, tonopen and fibreoptic rhino and otoscopes.

The Clarence municipality is the fastest growing area in Tasmania. It is in a great location with easy access to Hobart and is the gateway to the East Coast and Tasman peninsula.

What we are looking for:

Skills and knowledge can be taught and learnt. Attitude and aptitude cannot. Kind, open, honest, fun. It is these traits that we are in search of and that will allow you to flourish.

What this role offers:

Work life balance is very important to us. We very seldom have any staff member needing to stay back after closing time.
4 day work week
Daily schedule management is pre-planned and changed depending on the teams capacity each day.
We have vet team rounds every morning and early afternoon to provide a place and time to discuss cases and ask for or offer support where needed.
All vets rotate equally between shifts on surgery, dentals and consults.
Above award remuneration with a performance linked bonus scheme assessed and paid quarterly.
CPD allowance of $5000 for a full time position with CPD being strongly encouraged, in conjunction with one weeks study leave
VIN membership included
Tas Vet Board registration fee’s included
Relocation allowance considered for the right candidate
Most importantly: Very regular coffee runs from Uncle Alby’s, a great coffee joint across the road - Uncle Alby's | Sorell TAS | Facebook

Experienced Small Animal Veterinarian

Love small animal practice, but could do without the phone tag, repeated conversations and endless follow-up?

An exciting opportunity awaits for an experienced small animal veterinarian looking to join a supportive, locally owned country practice in Longford, Tasmania.

At Longford & Northern Midlands Veterinary Services, you'll have an experienced team around you, including dedicated Vet Liaisons who help keep clients informed, follow-ups on track and the patient journey moving giving you more time to focus on your patients and clinical work.

The role, in a nutshell

This is a genuinely small animal only role within our busy, locally owned mixed practice.

We're open to part-time or full-time, with hours negotiable for the right person.

You'll join us in an experienced clinical role, with the autonomy to manage your own caseload and make confident clinical decisions, while having a supportive team around you to discuss cases and bounce ideas off when needed.

We'd also value the experience you can bring to our newer and graduate vets through everyday case discussions, practical advice and the occasional teaching moment without the expectation of taking on a formal mentoring role.

We take pride in our collaborative team. We discuss cases, share ideas and lend a hand when things get busy. We're also fortunate to have loyal, long-standing clients who value their local veterinary team and the care we provide.

A little about us

We're proudly a locally owned busy 12 vet country based practice closely connected to our community and committed to providing high-quality, personal veterinary care for, families and rural businesses from a wide area including Launceston, Northern Midlands and as far as the East Coast.

Longford is just south of Launceston and close to the airport, while still offering everything that makes living in Tasmania rather excellent with the amazing food and wine, bushwalking, mountain biking, fishing, beaches and plenty of space to enjoy the fresh air!!

How our Vet Liaison model would support you

Our Vet Liaisons work alongside our vets, nurses and administration team to keep the patient and client journey connected.

They assist with client coordination and education, helping clients understand treatment plans, costs and next steps, while keeping results, referrals, records and follow-up moving.

For our vets, that means less chasing, fewer repeated conversations and less of the administration that can easily take over a busy clinical day.

You have more time to examine patients, work through cases, perform procedures and make thoughtful clinical decisions knowing there's a team around you helping to keep everything else on track.

What you'll bring

Experience in small animal general practice, with the confidence to manage medical and routine surgical cases.
Sound clinical judgement, clear communication and a practical, kind approach to clients and colleagues.
A willingness to share your experience with our team including graduate vets through everyday case discussions, regular staff meetings and practical advice as things pop up in the day to contribute to ongoing practice improvements
A collaborative and positive mindset — comfortable asking for help when you need it, sharing what you know and working as part of a team.
Current eligibility for registration as a veterinarian in Tasmania.

**Please note this is an experienced veterinarian position and is not intended for a new graduates at this time

What you can expect from us

A small animal only caseload.
Part-time or full-time employment, with hours negotiable for the right person.
An attractive employment package based on your experience and agreed hours.
Support for continuing education and opportunities to develop clinical interests that are meaningful to you and useful within the practice.
A genuinely independent, non-corporate practice, owned by local veterinarians whose families live and work in the community.
A well-equipped purpose built clinic with in-house pathology, diagnostic imaging, dental and surgical capability.
A workplace built around empathy, teamwork, respect and consistency.

Whether you're keen to deepen your large animal skills, or you're an established dairy vet looking for a change of scenery and a clinic where your knowledge is valued, we'd love to hear from you.

Our caseload is predominantly dairy (around 80%), with primarily spring calving herds from smaller family-run farms through to large corporate operations.

Supportive, down-to-earth team: three full-time vets, experienced admin staff, FIFO locums, and access to vets across our other branch clinics (The Vet Group). We also have technicians who can join you for jobs that require an extra hand.
Fully stocked work vehicle, work phone, and laptop provided.

Varied cattle caseload year-round within a team that has a strong focus on a preventative approach to dairy health.
Seasonal on-call roster shared between vets, with minimal call-outs for much of the year outside spring calving (Aug–Oct).

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.
