Overview

Mixed Animal Veterinarian - Peninsula Paradise Awaits

Full-time | Waihi & Whangamata | New Grads Welcome | Fair After-Hours 1:4

Your Next Chapter Starts Here

Picture this: You wake up to ocean views, spend your morning treating a farmer's prize cattle, then finish your afternoon with a golden retriever's routine check-up - all while knowing you won't be called out this weekend because our 1:4 after-hours roster actually respects your time.

Your New Adventure

What makes this role exciting:

• True mixed practice - companion animals, farm calls, and everything in between
• Two great locations - work between our modern, purpose-built Whangamata clinic and our developing Waihi clinic with room to grow
• Fair after-hours system - 1:4 roster ensures a healthy work-life balance
• Properly compensated on-call - after-hours work paid in addition to your base salary
• New grad friendly - we love fresh perspectives and provide the training to back them up

Why You\'ll Love Working With Us

Professional Excellence That Supports You:

• Modern diagnostic equipment including digital X-rays, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory
• Fully equipped surgical facilities with advanced monitoring
• Continuing education funding well beyond industry standards
• Team Support That Actually Works:
  • Experienced vets who genuinely enjoy sharing knowledge
  • We believe in learning by doing, with the right support around you
  • Collaborative case discussions and genuine mentorship
  • Team culture where questions are welcomed, not judged
• Work-Life Balance That\'s Real:
  • Sensible after-hours arrangements (1:4 roster)
  • Additional compensation for all after-hours work
  • Monday-Friday focus with manageable on-call commitments
  • Beautiful Peninsula location for the lifestyle you want
• Community Connection:
  • Locally owned practice supporting conservation efforts
  • Serving tight-knit rural and coastal communities
  • Make a difference beyond individual animal care

Who We\'re Looking For

Must-haves (the non-negotiables):

• Veterinary degree and ability to register in New Zealand
• Genuine care for animals and their people
• Interest in mixed practice variety

Nice-to-haves (but we can work with potential):

• Experience in mixed animal practice
• Confidence with large animal work

What we really value:

• The right attitude and willingness to learn (we can teach skills, but not character)
• Team players who enjoy collaborative problem-solving
• People who want to make a difference in rural and coastal communities

Your New Life Awaits
