Come and join our friendly, independent mixed practice and enjoy a varied and interesting caseload in a community that values and appreciates our knowledge and skills. We are an established practice aiming to provide friendly and compassionate care for all of our patients and loyal client base.
The Location
Otautau is a rural town surrounded by the most stunning coastlines and mountains alike. We have an abundance of outdoor and indoor sporting opportunities, good local shopping and plenty of popular eateries nearby.
Southland is the most cost-effective place to live in New Zealand and offers a multitude of job opportunities for partners making the move with you. Schools and medical resources are of a high standard making it an ideal location for individuals, couples and families alike.
With many of us having made the move ourselves, we understand the challenges of moving overseas and will support you to find accommodation and a vehicle.
About Us
We are a genuine mixed practice with around 75% of our work large animal, predominantly Dairy, and 25% Companion animal. Our varied caseload allows for special interests to be developed and for individuals to grow and expand the services we provide.

Due to the seasonal nature of our large animal work, there is a huge variation in the weighting of clinical work, but we aim to maintain variation whilst also accommodating individual skills and strengths. We also have Large Animal Technicians to ease the burden of the routine work.
There are always opportunities to learn new skills and with our great team of Vets, someone is always happy to lend a hand if more hands, more experience or just some friendly encouragement is required.
Ultimately, we are looking for the right candidate to fit in with our team and we are happy to work with differing levels of experience to ensure that you are confident in your role.

- Great work-life balance
VetEnt is one of New Zealand’s largest veterinary groups, and we’re united as one team working together to create a brighter future by enhancing the health of our clients’ animals, land and businesses.
We are seeking an experienced large animal veterinarian who aspires to lead a small, dedicated team of vets and technicians, and alongside our StockCare consultancy experts, create a centre of excellence for Sheep & Beef.

We have a highly loyal client base that strike the perfect balance between the relationship-driven sheep & beef practice of old, and progressive go-getters of the future.
Whilst you can expect some on-call work for emergencies, the roster is shared between our other Waipa clinics, which makes the on-call frequency very desirable.
Working for VetEnt, you’ll find an array of career advancement opportunities including training support, CPD, and involvement in our subsidiary operations, StockCare and PureMilk. You’ll have access to the latest technology in a well-equipped practice and a combined pool of knowledge from our friendly and supportive nationwide network of veterinarians.
Te Kuiti is an incredible place to live and work. We’re centrally located to suit whatever outdoor hobbies you may have, particularly if you enjoy the snow, a bit of hiking, or a spot of fishing. The town in itself is a bustling rural town, with affordable house prices and plenty of opportunity to nab a lifestyle block to dabble in a small farm of your own if you so wish.
If this ticks your boxes, and you meet the conditions of the Veterinary Council of New Zealand, we would love to hear from you! Call Sacha Halpin on 027 2254397 if you wish to discuss the role further or apply today by emailing your CV to careers@vetent.co.nz.
