Need a lifestyle adjustment?
Prebbleton Veterinary Hospital is looking for an equine vet with minimum of 3 years’ experience preferably with an interest in lameness/performance medicine and dentistry.
Prebbleton is halfway down the East Coast of the South Island, in a growing affluent satellite village on the western flank of Christchurch city, with a wide range of new housing for sale and rent.
Our clientele is varied - racing, sport, and pleasure horses, 90% within 25km of the clinic.
Ski slopes are 90 mins away, 30 mins to the beach or some lovely hill walks and 4-5 hrs from some amazing world class hiking. Christchurch, New Zealand’s 2nd largest city (about the size of Leicester) has good restaurants, theatres, and excellent schools in a compact area.
Our clinic is proudly privately owned, and you would be joining 2 experienced colleagues with a third to return in a year: a specialist equine surgeon visits monthly.
The small animal department has 3 vets and a dedicated nursing staff.
You will be mostly working independently but have backup from your experienced colleagues and vet techs. 85% of the work is ambulatory.
Our vets are an international collection and are all happy to have a chat about the practice and living/working in NZ. We pride ourselves on being part of the local community sponsoring horse events and projects within the village.
