HAMPTON PARK, SOUTH EAST MELBOURNE - SMALL ANIMAL

Hi, I’m Dr Cameron and I own Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital.

Ever been stumped trying to answer a question…?

Wracking your brain but coming up with nothing…?

For 28 years I have been solving medical problems for pets on a daily basis but this one question was so difficult to answer.

What was the question that stumped a Vet with 28 years experience…?

“Why should someone work with Dr Cameron and the team at Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital?”

Now I wasn’t stumped because it’s such a terrible place to work but because it was easy to answer the obvious things…

The team…
The clients…
The facilities…

But those things are what I feel every other practice owner seems to say.

What stumped me was being able to truly articulate what makes us unique (we Vets are traditionally very modest!).

So, just like when I get stumped by the answer to a medical puzzle I turned to colleagues, clients and specialists for some insight.

Here is what they said…

“Integrity and honesty underpins all their relationships.”
We pride ourselves on doing the right things the right way for the pets, their owners and those who are part of my team

“Fairness.”
Everyone client and team member is treated equally and respectfully.

“Compassion.”
Apparently there hasn’t been a day I haven’t gone home talking about the clients and pets that came through the consult room or surgery.

Caring is a verb not an adjective.

“Ambition.”
I have always set myself lofty goals and targets and I love to take others along for the ride and help them to do the same.

“Commitment.”
Even after 28 years I still love to continue to tweak and make improvements to my skills and how we do what we do.

What might you take from this..?

If you join the team I go to bat for you. You will be well supported to achieve the goals you have for yourself and evolve into the best Veterinarian you can be.

If you join the team your voice will count. We are a small but tight knit group where everyone contributes valuably to delivering excellent service.

If you join the team you will be treated well. If there is one thing I have learnt it is to value ourselves as professionals and the skills and service we deliver.

Of course, if you join the team there is the usual stuff I mentioned earlier too…

Not forgetting excellent remuneration based on experience.

If joining a team that is led with these guiding principles as their north star sounds attractive then we should talk.

You will be perfect if…

You have a few years’ experience, so you know your way around a consult room…
You take pride in doing your very best for yourself, the pet and their owner…
You are a people person…
You enjoy the cut and thrust of a GP small animal clinic.

I am really looking for someone who is committed to cementing their career with us.

The good news is that you will be able to do this AND work part time. It is a role suited to you if you are keen for 20 to 25 hours per week.

We are pretty flexible with how this works although it requires a regular Saturday morning shift.

Unlike most other jobs going I’m not going to ask for a CV or a cover letter (well not right away…).

If you are keen to learn more let’s have a no strings attached chat and explore what the future might look like. If it’s something worth exploring further I am sure we will both know it!

Send me an email at cameron@hamptonparkvets.com.au or a text on 0493 248 187 and we can go from there.

YARRAMBAT/NORTH WARRANDYTE, NORTH-EAST MELBOURNE - MIXED

Full Time mixed animal veterinarian position

The Veterinary Surgery is looking for a mixed animal veterinarian to join The Veterinary Surgery team (Yarrambat & North Warrandyte).
70% Small, 15% equine, 15% mixed animals.

We are seeking a veterinarian who will work well in a large, friendly and supportive team of vets and nurses that provide a high level of care to our patients.

Please click here to see photos!

The Position:

Well-supported position within a great team of 10 vets spread across two clinics
4 x 9.5 hour weekday shifts with one rostered weekday off, plus 1 in 4 Saturday morning shifts
1 in 7 weeknights on call plus 1 in 7 weekends on call
4 weeks annual leave plus one week paid study leave with a further $1500 CPD allowance
Attractive remuneration
Large and varied medical and surgical caseload, rarely limited by financial constraints
Best suited to a motivated, versatile and progressive vet
Best suited to a vet who will appreciate and contribute to a culture of fun in our workplace
Baking is looked upon favourably

The clinics and the business:

Main clinic located in Yarrambat, a picturesque and semi-rural suburb approx 45 mins northeast of Melbourne's CBD
Branch clinic located in Warrandyte, a beautiful village nestled in the green wedge alongside the Yarra River, 40 min east of the CBD
Independently owned business with two directors who will happily clean cages, and work shoulder to shoulder with the associates
Both clinics comprehensively equipped with premium diagnostic and monitoring equipment.

Words from one of our Associate Vets:

We are one of the few clinics where is it possible to live in the "city" and do mixed animal practice
Our nurses are well-trained to look after us, not over-book and give us enough time for consults, phone calls and catch-ups. Lunchtimes and home-times are considered sacred, and we almost always get out on time. If you want to leave the clinic to go for a walk or pick up lunch at lunchtime, that is almost always possible.
Doing on-call is an opportunity to serve the local community, to gain unique experience, learn to think on your feet and see some cool cases, but we also have the ability to refer small animal emergencies to 24-hour centres so they can receive the best of care (which also means on-call isn't overly busy)
As we see such a variety of animals and cases, there is definitely the ability for vets to develop a special interest - anything from alpacas, or equine dentistry, or small animal behaviour. But otherwise, this is an awesome clinic to become a well-rounded mixed animal practitioner, with vets experienced in different areas to provide support and guidance.
Our large animal work is often for clients who keep a small number of these animals as pets, and so individual diagnostics and treatment are often pursued, but there is also the scope for doing some herd health work if vets are interested
We have the ability both to work-up and treat complicated cases in-house, and use travelling specialists, but also, we commonly refer and have excellent relationships with specialist centres
Our clients are generally excellent, usually very respectful and keen to do the best for their animals. As a small independent practice, we have many clients that have been coming to the clinic for decades and value the personalised care we can provide for their animals.
We are a very casual, friendly, chatty bunch. We work hard but have fun. The radio plays out the back. We often sit and have lunch together. The vet team are very supportive and approachable and share cases and ideas and ask each other for help commonly.

Please contact Andy Lynch at andrew.lynch@thevetsurgery.com.au or at the Yarrambat Veterinary Hospital 03 9436 1699 to register your interest or to further discuss the position.

Job Description

Your New Role

The Surgery department is currently staffed by 2 Specialist Surgeons (Fellows of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists), one surgical Registrar, a surgical Resident, and one surgical Intern, and a large team of highly skilled surgical nurses. The role encompasses assisting the surgeons with consultations, diagnostic procedures, surgical procedures, case management and patient discharges, assisting the nurses with anaesthesia, and assisting with post-operative care of patients. Interns will also be trained in performing diagnostic procedures such as radiography, CT and MRI. The commencement of the program is currently flexible, ideally prior to January 2025.

The surgery intern’s responsibilities and activities support the efficient and effective management of cases presented to the Surgery Department both as primary referrals and via the emergency service. In this role, the intern works cooperatively with, and under supervision of the surgical specialists, registrar and resident. This affords a considerable opportunity for clinical and professional development with exposure to a wide range of surgical cases and is intended to foster the intern’s interest in further learning and facilitate their progression to advanced clinical training in the discipline. This will require a balanced approach to capitalising on learning opportunities and attendance to clinical duties, requiring initiative, self-motivation and enthusiasm in both aspects of this role.

Specifically, the regular duties of the surgery intern include:

Assistance with admission of patients to, and discharge from, the hospital
Organisation and preparation for anaesthesia of surgical patients
Induction of anaesthesia and supervision of anaesthetic monitoring by surgical nurses
Providing assistance to, and guidance of, the surgical nurses in the preparation of patients for surgery and performing adjunctive analgesic procedures
Scrubbed assistance in surgery
Supervision and management of patient recovery, as monitored by the surgical nurse
Review of patient treatment/hospital charts
Brief evening rounds with the responsible ICU clinician to transfer case responsibility overnight
Assistance with diagnostic imaging investigations including radiographs, CT and MRI (external facility) examinations after appropriate training and licensing requirements have been met
Preparation of surgical reports relating to procedures that the intern has been involved in as the assistant surge
Thorough examination, assessment and care of any hospitalised surgery patients (including cooperation with the surgery nurse in performing any ancillary tasks).
Preparation of daily inpatient records for hospitalised surgery patients
Timely and comprehensive reporting to the specialists on the condition of their inpatients.
Communication with clients and referring veterinarians on behalf of the surgeons when requested.
The surgical intern is not required to contribute to the on-call roster although there is the potential for the intern to participate in rostered in-patient care on Saturday mornings.
Participation in, and contribution to, weekly surgery rounds/journal club sessions

Qualifications

Candidates must be eligible for veterinary registration in Victoria and have excellent communication skills and work ethic, as well as a strong knowledge base on which to build
Clinical experience is desirable but not essential
This position is suited to a highly motivated vet seeking to further their skills and knowledge in Small Animal Surgery
Team coherence is extremely important to us and above all, we value someone who is a team player and an active learner
