Want to move to a relaxed, beautiful seaside town where your days off are spent fishing, diving, surfing, camping, hiking, horse riding, boating, kayaking (and the list goes on and on!)?
Vets On Eyre, located in beautiful Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, is looking for an enthusiastic and friendly vet to join our team.
‘But where is the Eyre Peninsula?’ I hear you ask? It is a pretty special place, just have a look at this video: https://youtu.be/n5_ak_Zn9vs
There’s a million, squillion vet ads out there so WHY CHOOSE US??
We are a rural mixed practice vet clinic with an interesting and diverse case load. We see approximately 80% small animal, 10% equine and the rest sheep and cattle.
Our team is currently made up of 2 full-time vets and 3 part-time vets, with a new grad starting in March which will bring the total full-time vets to 3. All our full-time vets get a consistent weekly RDO.
Vaccination consults are 15 minutes and EVERYTHING ELSE is at least half an hour. Vaccines plus a specific concern? You’ll get half an hour – our nurses will always check on booking because no one likes the old ‘oh he’s been scratching a lot and can you also check his gunky eyes?’ in a 15 minute time slot!
Because we are rural, we get to see some pretty cool stuff, but for those extra tricky cases we have an awesome orthopaedic surgeon who visits once a month and is available to chat about a difficult case you may have.
Once we are back at full vet capacity, we would resume our regular fortnightly visits up the coast of the Eyre Peninsula to Elliston, Streaky Bay and Ceduna – providing a veterinary service to these more isolated areas. If this is something that interests you, you would be more than welcome to become involved in these trips.
Being a rural practice we feel it is important that our patients have access to veterinary care when they need it, not just when it’s convenient. That being said, we do offer an after hours service. Our after hours compensation is fair with the vet taking home 75% of the professional fees. With the existing vets, our on call roster would be 1 weekend in 4, and 1-2 nights a week.
Some other perks include pretty awesome staff discounts – cost price for everything!, VSBSA registration and EAP license reimbursed, and an annual CPD allowance of $2000. Salary is negotiable depending on experience.
WHAT DO WE WANT:
A vet! Ideally comfortable with mixed practice. Experience preferred. Full time or part time we don’t mind!
So if you think you could handle living in paradise and working with a great bunch of like-minded people in a job you love, don’t delay in dropping us a line. We’ll happily answer any questions you might have!
