Job description

Veterinary Associate - Greencross Box Hill

• Part-time

Join a clinic where great medicine, great people, and great snacks go hand in hand.

Greencross Vets Box Hill is a well-established small animal practice in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Co-located with Petbarn, our clinic is equipped with modern diagnostic, medical and surgical equipment, including dental radiography, digital imaging and upgraded patient monitoring systems.

We're a close-knit, supportive team of experienced veterinarians, nurses, nursing interns and veterinary students. Learning is part of our everyday culture, and we enjoy mentoring the next generation of veterinary professionals. Led by Veterinary Director Ying and Practice Manager Janelle, who progressed from nursing intern to Practice Manager within Greencross, we've created a workplace where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. We work hard, support one another and don't take ourselves too seriously. There is always food to share, plenty of laughs and a team ready to help when things get busy.

Wellbeing isn't just something we talk about, it's something we actively prioritise. Our Head Nurse is a qualified Mental Health First Aider, and we've built a culture where people feel comfortable asking questions, seeking support and learning from mistakes. We work hard, but we also enjoy what we do. There's plenty of laughter, a constant supply of snacks, and a team that rallies around each other when challenges arise. It's a big reason why many of our locum and casual veterinarians keep coming back. They often describe their shifts at Box Hill as a refreshing change of pace, where they're supported by experienced colleagues, encouraged to be themselves, and reminded why they enjoy working in veterinary medicine in the first place.

Greencross Vets Box Hill is seeking an experienced Veterinarian to join our team on a part-time or flexible basis. We're looking for a veterinarian with 3+ years of clinical experience who is confident with routine medicine and surgery and enjoys supporting the development of others. This role would suit someone who values teamwork, mentorship and practising high-quality medicine in a welcoming, collaborative environment.

You’ll enjoy a varied caseload spanning consultations, surgery, diagnostics and dentistry, supported by an experienced nursing team and strong referral relationships with MVSC, VRH, CARE and AEC.

We’d love to discuss a roster that works for you, with current clinical needs centred around Mondays, Thursdays and occasional Saturdays.

What's in it for you?
At Greencross, we're committed to helping our veterinarians thrive both professionally and personally.

You’ll benefit from:

• Flexible working arrangements and rostering options to support your lifestyle and commitments
• A collaborative team culture with experienced veterinarians, nurses, interns and students who enjoy learning from one another
• A qualified Mental Health First Aider on-site and a workplace that prioritises wellbeing, open communication and team support
• Generous CPD support, paid study leave and complimentary access to our industry-leading Clinical Symposium
• Access to online learning, workshops, mentoring, leadership development and national conferences
• Opportunities to mentor veterinary students and nursing interns while developing your own leadership skills
• Paid Veterinary Registration or AVA Membership
• Paid parental leave
• Employee discounts across health insurance, retail, travel, vehicles and lifestyle providers
• Access to career progression opportunities across the wider Greencross network
• The ability to bring your pet to work and enjoy a clinic culture that's known for its team lunches, snack cupboard and sense of humour

We're looking for a veterinarian who:

• Has 3+ years of experience in small animal practice
• Is comfortable with routine surgery, consultations and case management
• Enjoys teaching and mentoring veterinary students, nursing interns and team members
• Works collaboratively and communicates effectively with clients and colleagues
• Is confident working autonomously when required, including occasional sole charge shifts
• Brings a positive attitude, sense of humour and team-first approach

To be considered for this role, you must hold a Veterinary Science qualification recognised by the Australasian Veterinary Boards' Council (AVBC) and be eligible for veterinary registration in Victoria. For further information, please visit: https://avbc.asn.au
