Job description

A purpose-built clinic on the Gold Coast is home to a lovely, dedicated team who are passionate about providing high-quality care to pets and their owners. The team are known for their supportive culture, great clients, and genuine love for what they do. Located just 20 minutes from Burleigh Heads National Park, this is a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking a leadership role and a coastal lifestyle.

The employer is seeking a full-time Head Veterinarian who is ready to step into a rewarding leadership position. The role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact while being recognised and supported every step of the way. Leadership and business mentorship programs are available to help experienced veterinarians confidently move into management or further strengthen their leadership skills.

You will play an important role in guiding clinical standards, supporting junior and newly graduated vets, and maintaining high levels of patient and client care. Working alongside the practice manager, you will also assist in managing clinic operations and financial performance while fostering a positive, motivated team environment.

This position comes with a generous remuneration package, regular reviews, and flexibility to accommodate your family and lifestyle commitments. There are no after-hours, Sunday or public holiday shifts, and Saturdays are shared on a rotating roster. You will also have access to unlimited professional development opportunities and ongoing support from the operations team, who are all experienced vets and nurses.

Team members enjoy a range of great benefits, including paid parental leave, in-clinic VIN membership, and access to an employee assistance program for health and wellbeing support. Staff also receive generous discounts.

The employer is willing to assist with a work visa (sponsorship) for suitable overseas candidates. Applicants must have a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (or equivalent) and be eligible for registration as a veterinary practitioner in Australia.

The practice is situated in a great coastal location, in a suburb on the Gold Coast. Enjoy all that the area has to offer and Brisbane being less than an hours’ drive away. Fill your spare time with surfing, bushwalking, wildlife spotting and great eateries! The area is family-friendly with great schools nearby.
