TAURANGA, NORTH ISLAND - SMALL ANIMAL New Position
Full/part time position and locum position available
Do you enjoy water sports like surfing, Mountain biking or skiing/snowboarding? A great job opportunity awaits in a progressive, purpose-built clinic in Mount Maunganui in Tauranga.
Tauranga is a bustling city in the Bay of Plenty Region centrally located in the heart of the North Island with some of NZ's top beaches, it’s only a 2.5 hour drive to Auckland, it's close to the Rotorua lakes and a 3.5 hour drive to the ski fields. The is position available is at our Mount Maunganui branch, located only a 10 minute stroll to NZ's best known surf beach.

Please click here to see photos!
- Both clinics are equipped to state-of-the art level with excellent facilities to include latest Wi-Fi DR X-ray, state of the art ultrasound, in-house biochemistry and haematology, endoscopy, video otoscopy, e.g., tonometry, the list goes on.
- We are non-corporate, low volume – high value clinic with excellent support staff ratio. Our knowledgeable and well-trained nurses and vet techs triage and assist during consultations and are versed in taking blood samples, intravenous injections, taking x-rays and carry out laboratory procedures, but also provide cost estimates to customers. This lack of distraction allows you to concentrate on what you are doing best, to fully work up cases to reach a diagnosis and to concentrate on performing medical and surgical procedures.
- We are able to carry out most advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures in-house, apart from spinal surgery.
- Our cloud-based veterinary software from the US is the most advanced on the market today and is unique (in NZ) to our clinic allowing for super-efficient communication with customers and amongst the staff.
- The after/ hours service is shared equally and low volume. The nurses take the calls and only disturb the vet when a patient comes into the clinic, which does not happen very often.
- 40 hours per week, No OOH, 1:3 Saturdays with a day off in lieu
- above average remuneration
- $5000 relocation allowance
- Last, but not least, we have very good team dynamics, the clinic organises and pays regular outings to the restaurant, and we have weekly yoga sessions!
This position would suit an experienced veterinarian wanting to upskill - we offer in-house surgical training in advanced soft tissue surgery plus orthopaedics including TPLO
New/recent graduates are also welcome to apply, in fact we are especially accustomed to train new graduates who learn twice as fast in half the time compared to most other clinics who tend to leave new graduates to their own devices. Jörg, the owner and senior vet particularly enjoys training new graduates and building up their medical and surgical and general confidence by working together through each new surgical and medical case for the first time, following a textbook approach from day one.

To allow us to grow and expand further. We even have space for as specialist to set up if they want to have their own place free from the big corporates. We have a recent graduate who we support religiously so cannot take on another sorry!
Please click here to see photos!
We are based in East Auckland, have a great reputation, growing all the time. We have the luxury of a big team who enjoy their work so lockdown, split teams and Covid isolations were all been pretty straight forward with most staff actually reducing hours on full pay. It is great to be out the other side but we are still doing our best to keep our staff safe and happy every day.
We really want a team player that can work efficiently and forge strong relationships with clients and patients. Good time management and happy to take the manic days along with the dead quiet ones. You even get to go home early some days, and you even get breaks! And our staff negotiate the hours they want to work and can work pro-rata for more or less.
We can offer you a supportive and experienced veterinary team who enjoy working up cases thoroughly and offering an exemplary standard of care. We have two fully qualified nurses for every veterinarian so you always have an extra set of superb hands available. They are skilled and can do absolutely anything you ask as well as being awesome mind readers!
CPD is encouraged and we are happy for our veterinarians to pursue special interests and we do some really cool stuff. We are in a good socio-economic area and many of our patients are insured, so work-ups are easily offered. We are also more than okay with firing crappy clients, we have zero tolerance of abuse. You won’t work Sundays, after-hours or public holidays. Saturdays are only half a day and rostered 1:4 with a whole day in lieu.
We have all the mod-cons, ultrasound, digital x-ray, dental x-ray, vetscan, sterile theatre, three consult rooms, IM3 dental machine, fluid pumps, auto injector syringe, bair huggers, water beds, central air conditioning and VIN membership.
This permanent role is suited to a veterinarian wanting to settle down long term. Any special interests welcomed, surgery/orthopaedics, dentistry, medicine or even exotics if they float your boat. If you are keen to buy your own clinic in the future we can negotiate a succession plan!
Our veterinarians work efficiently, are great communicators and respect our amazing nurses. We expect our team to never be afraid to ask for help and all share cases and seek peer opinions if necessary. We are team players, hard workers, enjoy our work, have a laugh and this makes for a non-toxic environment! And most of all you don’t need to stress in your work day!
We have our own registered charity The Rock Vets that provides free healthcare and de-sexing clinics on Niue Island. These trips are incredible, life changing and an exciting highlight for keen staff that volunteer.
We also support Lonely Miaow cat rescue and our staff are very passionate about the rescue work and the exciting challenges it brings.
Pay is based on experience and you are paid what you are worth. Must have the right to work in NZ.
