Job description

Are you a passionate Companion Animal Vet looking for flexibility, variety, and genuine team support?

We have a part-time opportunity (2–3 days per week) in our busy BEST PRACTICE accredited Papakura clinic. This is a role where you can enjoy strong collegial support, a varied caseload, and the opportunity to truly make your mark.

If you have additional training or a special clinical interest, we’re open to tailoring this role around your strengths. For the right candidate, where additional skills allow us to expand our service offering, this position can be structured as full-time. If there’s an area you’re passionate about developing, we’d love to explore how we can build that into your role

About Us

Franklin Vets is a locally owned mixed practice with 15 clinics across South Auckland, North Waikato, and the Thames–Coromandel districts.

All 22 of our owners work within the business, and we remain proudly independent as members of IndieVets NZ and XLVets NZ. Our ownership model means decisions are made by clinicians, for clinicians — with a strong focus on quality care, professional development, and long-term sustainability.

Our Papakura clinic is home to experienced veterinary, nursing, and customer service teams who are committed to delivering exceptional patient care and exceeding client expectations. We value collaboration, continuous improvement, and creating an environment where your wellbeing and professional growth genuinely matter.

About You

You are a Companion Animal Veterinarian who:

• Enjoys being part of a busy, community-centred practice
• Is committed to delivering high-quality clinical care
• Values strong client communication and relationship building
• Contributes positively to team culture and shared learning

What We Offer

• A warm, experienced team that values peer support and shared learning
• A varied and interesting caseload to build confidence and capability
• Excellent collegial support from our wider network of skilled veterinarians
• Flexibility to balance work and life
• Access to modern equipment and well-established clinical systems
• The opportunity to develop and grow special interests

This role includes pro-rated rostered weekend days, some weekday shifts at our nearby Karaka satellite clinic, and occasional cover across our wider network — offering the perfect blend of stability, variety, and connection within a large, supportive group.
