With at least a couple of years working at a vet under your belt, and maybe a bit of vet nursing experience boosting that resume of yours, you’re looking for a clinic that prioritises the care of every animal that walks/slithers/bounds through the door. You want to find a team that has a good sense of humour, gets along with one another, and still delivers awesome patient care. You’ve worked with EzyVet before (or are eager to learn the ropes!), and your computer skills are second to none. You have a bright and optimistic personality and a smile on your face even when the day gets a bit hectic.
