Job description

Veterinary Associate - Greencross Tweed Heads

• Part-time

A clinic where people stay, clients trust you, and the work means something

This clinic has a way of making people feel at ease, whether they have worked here for years or have just walked through the door. Clients are known, pets are deeply cared for, and the team brings a warmth and steadiness to the day that makes the work feel both grounded and rewarding.

This maternity leave cover is a chance to step into a team that is thoughtful, capable, and deeply connected to its community. You’ll be joining people who care about doing the job well, support each other without making a show of it, and bring a sense of humour that makes even the busiest days feel lighter.

The work you’ll be part of

Cases here are not rushed through or treated at face value.

When a dog came in after another clinic had recommended euthanasia, the team did not stop there. They dug into the details, researched, spoke with specialists, and managed a rare PLN condition with care and persistence. The result was more quality time for that pet and its owner. That kind of effort is not unusual here. It is expected.

At the same time, care shows up in quieter ways. Long-standing clients, including older members of the community, are supported in practical, thoughtful ways. When one client could not get their dog to the clinic, the team made sure the pet was safely brought in and treated.

The clinic is also trusted for its surgical capability. Advanced procedures are performed in-house, which means patients can stay with familiar faces and clients are not pushed into the added stress of referral unless it is truly needed.

The people around you

This is a team with depth, and you will feel that in the way the day runs.

Dr. Greg brings advanced surgical expertise through his membership, lifting what the clinic can offer and supporting more complex cases.

Dr. Ana has built a strong focus on nutrition, helping patients in a way that is considered and long‑term.

Dr. Tim combines surgical skill with a real investment in client understanding, taking the time to walk people through what is happening and what comes next.

Abby, the practice manager, is central to how the clinic feels. She keeps things steady, positive and organised, even when the pace lifts. Her ability to read the room, support the team, and bring humour at the right moment is something people rely on.

The nursing team is equally important to the way the clinic functions. They are hands‑on, capable, and tuned into both patients and vets. There is a natural flow to how people work together here, with support offered without needing to ask.

The kind of vet who settles in well

You will likely feel comfortable here if you enjoy being part of a team that is:

• easy to work with, quick to support, and good at communicating
• grounded and practical, without losing warmth
• able to keep things moving while still thinking properly about cases
• comfortable with a day that doesn’t always go to plan

A sense of humour helps. So does being the kind of person who notices when someone else needs a hand.

What sits around the role

You will have the backing you need to do the job well and keep developing.

• Flexible working options to suit your lifestyle
• A leadership team that respects balance and keeps communication open
• Strong continuing education support, including workshops and external training as well as all‑inclusive annual Greencross conference
• Enjoy 4 weeks of annual leave, plus 1 week of study leave each year, with the option to convert it into an extra week of annual leave
• Heidi AI note taking to take pressure off admin
• Discounts across Greencross, ARH and Petbarn
• Wellbeing support including Mental Health Officers and 24/7 EAP access
