YARRAMBAT/NORTH WARRANDYTE, NORTH-EAST MELBOURNE - MIXED New Position

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.
