Equine ambulatory and hospital based position

WEV is an exceptional practice. Founded in 2012, our small team of over 3 FTE veterinarians provide dedicated boutique style equine services from a purpose-built facility outside of Warwick.

The practice was founded by Tias Muurlink, a specialist equine surgeon with extensive university and private practice experience. The case load is very varied and is currently biased towards lameness and surgery, both first opinion and referral cases. The practice also provides extensive reproductive services to some large-scale Thoroughbred farms in the area and assisted reproduction services in sport horses as well as more general equine veterinary services. Equipment and facilities are excellent, with comprehensive diagnostic, dental, anaesthesia and surgical equipment as well as hospitalisation, examination areas and surgical facilities for both standing and recumbent surgery.

Currently we are looking to employ an experienced equine vet. The position could be for a fixed period or permanent after a probationary period. The ideal applicant will be able to confidently perform a range of equine reproductive and dental services and general equine practice. Experience in lameness, anaesthesia, more advanced medicine and surgery would be highly regarded. These services are mainly delivered from the hospital, but out calls may sometimes be necessary. The ideal candidate would be able to assist with hospital-based consultations and medical care and support the surgeons with their caseload. A fully equipped work vehicle is available for any out calls.

We feel we have a great physical work environment but more importantly we pride ourselves on having a happy team atmosphere where all are working towards the best outcomes for our patients and clients. A very important part of achieving this are our exceptional nurses and support staff whom we value highly.

We will negotiate a salary in the range of $100-150K for the right applicant with accommodation and vehicle if needed by negotiation. Renumeration for any afterhours work will also be available.
