POSITION VACANT - 100 % SMALL ANIMAL FT or PPT
Summer Street Vet Clinic is seeking a fourth veterinarian to work in our fully equipped and rapidly growing 100% small animal practice in Orange, NSW.
Our practice was established in Jan 2007 but has recently undergone extensive renovations and is well equipped with all the usual toys such as Idexx in house lab, Digital X ray, Ultrasound, IM3 dental gear, orthopaedics, Vitavue Multiparameter moniter etc. We are a busy clinic with an interesting and varied case load and lovely, devoted clients. We aim to provide a happy, safe and fun work environment with an emphasis on high standards of care and a great work/life balance. We have a great team of competent and friendly nurses and vets and whether your passion is medicine or surgery or both, we can accommodate you. As a way of giving back to the community, we also support the local animal rescue groups (AWL and the Rabbit Sanctuary).
Our vets currently work a 67-hour fortnight with either Monday or Friday off which means a 3-day weekend. After hours work is minimal and our roster is flexible, so if you have other commitments (like kids!) and are interested but would like fewer hours, we can work around school hours etc.
Remuneration is well above the award and can be negotiated according to experience (FT $75,000.00 - $135,000.00). We also offer all the usual allowances, continuing education etc. For suitable applicants wanting to make a permanent move to Orange, a relocation allowance is available and future partnership opportunities will be considered. For overseas applicants contemplating moving to Australia, we would also consider sponsorship / assistance with relocation, provision of a car and accommodation. For anyone with a HECS debt, we would also be happy to make an additional quarterly contribution towards helping you pay down this debt faster.
The position would ideally suit an experienced surgeon however new graduates are also welcome to apply. Applicants must be compassionate, have good communication skills, work well as part of a team and be enthusiastic with a sense of humour!
So why move to Orange? Orange is an easy 3 hours’ drive from Sydney and Canberra and offers a wonderful lifestyle. It gives you the best of both worlds: the country town vibe and great lifestyle (think green rolling hills, farmers markets, renowned cool climate wineries and pick your own orchards and berry farms in quaint historic villages) with all the perks of big city living (the new Orange Base Hospital which is the largest non-metropolitan health and trauma centre in the Southern Hemisphere, a new $25 million sports precinct, 16 schools inc private (Kinross Wolaroi and Orange Anglican School), Catholic (James Sheehan and St Mary’s) and good public schools, hatted restaurants, Charles Sturt University campus, 3 excellent 18 hole golf courses and a thriving real estate market. It is a renowned food, wine and tourist destination (in the Wotif 2023 awards for top 3 best towns to visit in NSW) and has an annual influx of approx. 400 tree changers per year who are largely professional people moving to the area chasing the lifestyle and the employment opportunities all within an easy commute to Sydney and Canberra.
