Fur Life Vet Yarrawonga operates out of our new clinic on the shores of the Murray River in northern Victoria. Our clinic is growing and we are looking for a senior vet to help us drive the clinic's growth.

Thanks to being a tourist destination, there is plenty to keep foodies happy – wineries, lakeside dining and local producers. It is surrounded by small boutique towns so therefore you will never be short of weekend activities. Not to mention it's close to the ski fields in winter for those who enjoy the snow.

Consigning yearlings at all major sales throughout Australia, and a racing team of 200 plus horses gives the Veterinarians great job variety and exposure to all aspects of the business.

The successful candidate will be a highly motivated and organised person who wishes to be part of a close-knit Veterinary team as well as learning the structure and management of a thoroughbred stud. As we are currently in the development phase of two of the additional stud properties, you would be involved with input into set up and design of Vet working areas within these properties.

Yulong’s Veterinary facilities include a full Laboratory comprised of Hematology, Biochemistry, PCR and Blood gas machines along with the ability to do cultures and sensitivities.

We would encourage you to attend seminars and clinics to further your education in all fields of Veterinary work and the company will provide financial support for this.

You would have the opportunity to attend yearling sales to oversee the veterinary care of our yearling draft whilst on the sale complex. As well as assisting management with yearling inspections and completing thorough pre purchase clinical examinations, reading pre-sale x-rays and evaluating pre-sale upper airway endoscopy videos.

We currently have over 100 staff and the ability to effectively communicate as well as assist with ongoing education of the stud staff is vitally important to the growth of the business.

The breeding side of the operation is located within the beautiful wine region of the lower Goulburn Valley. We are located a quick 1.5-hour drive or train ride into central Melbourne. A fifth property, Yulong Park, serves as the spelling farm for our racehorses and is located on the opposite side of Melbourne and is only a short drive away from the Mornington Peninsula.

If you are ambitious and wish to advance your career further, then this would be the ideal position for you.

Requirements:

Degree in Veterinary Medicine/Science eligible for full Veterinary registration in Victoria
A candidate who has completed an equine internship will be given preference but is not essential

ALBURY, NSW/VIC BORDER - SMALL ANIMAL

Seeking a PT veterinarian to join our team.

Experienced Senior Veterinarian
Very supportive hospital, seeking like minded Veterinarian
2-3 days per week, fair share of after-hours and on call is required, including rotational Saturdays.
Team consulting for optimal support
Minimum 5 years' clinical experience (up to $130,000 pro-rata)
Capable of supporting new graduate and more junior vets with surgical and medical cases.

A bit about us:
Our hospital is 5 years old this year and we have enjoyed a welcomed response from the community and have a well-established and lovely client base. We have 3 senior vets with different areas of expertise, who complement each other very well, as well as 2 other recent/new grad (2023) on the team. We operate on a 2-3 vets per day basis currently.

We start each day off with a ‘morning huddle’, where all team members have a look at the schedule for the day, share a daily win we have had and ensure clarity in everyone’s roles for that day.

Currently we have rostered surgery days where you will do surgery in the morning and consult in the afternoon and consulting days. When you join us and are comfortable, we have the capacity to increase surgery to 2 vets per day as we have separate dog and cat surgery rooms. Our surgery caseload is varied and across the board with routine and non-routine

Our consults are mostly 30 minutes, giving you time to get to know clients, do a thorough examination and discuss treatment plans. We have an experienced support team, including a dedicated receptionist, senior nurses and trainee nurses. We support the nursing team’s growth by getting them to do as much as they can so you can focus on vet work.

We are currently seeking an experienced PT vet who would work 2-3 days per week, 8am-6pm. After hours is evenly shared – currently each vet does one night per week and one weekend in 4. Call outs are very minimal, manageable, and very lucrative. It is expected that you would contribute fairly to the after hours roster. We utilise Vet Chat as a teletriage in the first instance, so you are only being asked to answer phone calls when they have been deemed an emergency. The teletriage system has seen a 70% drop in our after hours phone call disturbances to the vet on call.

A little bit about you:
We are looking for someone who has:

Great people presence, who can connect and relate to clients
Time efficiency
Attention to detail
Willing to teach others
High EQ – good self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills

A little bit about our hospital
We are currently a daytime GP hospital with a vet on call for afterhours, but we are investigating options of having a night shift. This is an area we hope to grow into. This would open up the possibility for emergency work, which is very different to daytime GP work. We are very excited about this possibility, but don’t have any concrete details to share, except to fully inform any applicant that this could be something coming to our hospital.

Please click here to see photos!

We are well set up and some of our major equipment includes:

Digital X-ray
Ultrasound
Dental equipment, including dental x-ray
Separate and dedicated dog and cat hospitals, each with own treatment area and surgery
4 consulting rooms
Idexx in house bloods and other routine in house laboratory equipment

We are registered as a Gold ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic and run Ezyvet as our Practice management software.

We practice hospital excellence and are continually self-evaluating our protocols to ensure best practice is achieved.

Ongoing CPD and team training:
This is critical for everyone in the team. We advocate for ongoing learning with regular team training and refresher training, practice membership to VIN, Vet Education webinars and ISFM. You will also be supported with a study allowance of $1500 PA and 1 week study leave per year all pro-rata.

We have monthly nurse and vet meetings to ensure smooth flow of hospital procedures and discuss projects we are working on. We hold a Team meeting quarterly where we close the clinic and discuss non-clinical training.

Teaching:
We pride ourselves on being a hospital, that advocates training and teaching, generally hosting veterinary nursing students and vet students where we can. Once you have found your feet, we would love for you to teach others, as teaching is also an amazing confidence building experience and really gets you comfortable with the content.

A little bit about Albury-Wodonga:
The clinic is located in Albury (Lavington) but the area is generally referred to as Albury-Wodonga. Albury being located on the NSW side of the Murray River and twin sister city - Wodonga being located on the Victorian side. Together the area offers great out-of-work lifestyle opportunities, many outdoor places to explore, in winter the snow fields are only an hour or so away. It is a large enough city to have all of your major shops and services, but small enough to still have that country feeling.

You can visit our Facebook page to see some photos of the clinic and get a ‘feel’ for the team - or we welcome you to come and meet the team.

For all enquiries please contact:
Dr Sally Henry (Veterinarian & Practice Manager) by phone 0402 902 326 or via email manager@alburyanimalhospital.com.au

Testimonial from a vet student:
Aimee initially did university practical placement with us but has then come back to do some nursing for experience during the holidays. Here’s what she had to say: “After I completed placement at Dr Jana’s in the summer of 2020, I returned as a nurse both after my placement and in the summer of 21-22. My choice to return was to do with the amazing and supportive team who became like family to me. Each of the vets has been an excellent mentor and all the nurses are incredible to work with. The clinic provides a safe environment to learn and excel and would be the perfect place for a new grad to start their journey’
– This vet now works for us. – Dr. Aimee Owens.
