At Greencross Fairfield, we show up for our patients, our clients and each other with warmth, curiosity and a shared love for what we do. This is a clinic where people enjoy coming to work. We laugh together, learn from each other and take pride in the care we give, every single day.

We are a close-knit team who care deeply, not just about outcomes, but about how we get there. The way we support each other matters. The way we connect with our clients matters. And the way we make pets feel safe, understood and cared for matters most of all.

• You are confident in your skills but always open to learning more, and you appreciate a workplace where growth is encouraged and supported.

The role

• Delivering personalised, high-quality care to patients and their people
• Consulting, diagnosing and treating a wide range of cases
