Job description

Job Description

GVC are providing recruitment support to a large Vet hospital, they need an experienced small animal veterinarian to join their growing team in North Geelong.

About The Employer

Geelong is ideally situated an hour from Melbourne and within close proximity to the beautiful Surf Coast.

This role is advertised by Global Veterinary Careers who operate as an employment business and emplacement agency. We have the largest selection of opportunities from our global marketplace and take on new and exclusive first opinion and specialist roles, worldwide daily.

Work Environment

We are looking for either a full or part time Veterinarian to join our growing team. The position would suit a candidate with experience or a new graduate vet.

The position can be anything from two to four days per week, including Saturdays on a rotating basis. Our full-time vets are rostered for 36 hours a week across 4 weekdays (this includes a one-hour lunch break). Saturdays are approximately one in six and the week before a Saturday shift is a three-day work week. We feel this schedule truly allows our veterinarians to actively pursue interests outside of work.

The position would have 4 weeks annual leave and 1-week study leave. We greatly encourage and will help fund further education. License fees and professional memberships paid.

The clinic is open 8:00am - 7:00pm Monday - Friday and Saturdays 8:00 am - 3:00pm. We have 30 minute appointments to allow ample time for work up and completion of records, in addition to catch up time and time put aside for medication repeats and call backs. We are not open after hours, for on call work, or public holidays.

The clinic has recently located into a brand-new purpose-built clinic. It is equipped with digital x-ray, dental x-ray (in a dedicated dental suite), multi parameter anaesthetic monitoring, ultrasound and in house IDEXX pathology. We use ascend as our software. In addition to the Veterinary tools our new clinic has an oven so we can bake treats for the team daily! We know everyone loves snacks!

Pay rate would be well above award (let's be honest, the award is a joke) and commensurate with experience. The most important thing we are looking for is someone that fits in with our close-knit team placing a premium on communication skills with both clients and staff.
