Full Time Small Animal Vet Role in Mixed Practice Clinic - Veterinarian Required
Experienced Vet Preferred
Do you want to work nine days a fortnight; with a supportive, fun, young and dynamic team; in a clinic that is only open week days, have no afterhours; and be well paid for it…?
Longford is located in the heart of the Northern Midlands in beautiful Tasmania. It is about a 15-minute drive south of Launceston (the largest centre in the north of the State, population >100,000). Our practice is less than 10 minutes’ drive from Launceston Airport, which offers direct and affordable flights to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane – the flight to Melbourne is only 45 minutes!
We love living in Tasmania. Our island home has amazing scenery and outdoor opportunities, including camping, mountain biking, bushwalking, fishing, surfing and skiing, all on your doorstep. Launceston is a well serviced and vibrant centre, with a thriving arts and culture scene, cafes, restaurants, cinemas and shopping. Tasmania’s capital city, Hobart, can also be easily reached – only 2.5 hours’ drive to the south.
Some members of our team are fairly new to Tasmania, but have settled in nicely and are starting to feel like locals already! We currently have 9 vets, and due to rapid growth in our family-owned and operated business (and our wish to maintain a family-friendly work-life balance!) we are looking for a tenth vet to join our team. We are looking for someone who is a great communicator, hard worker, enjoys a joke, and strives for good outcomes for patients and clients alike. Advanced medical or surgical skills would be highly regarded.
Our team is fun, experienced, young and dynamic, and strives to practice high quality and gold standard veterinary medicine. We are a very supportive workplace, and enjoy helping one another through difficult cases – we have 9 vets with a range of experience levels who are all easy going and approachable. Our clients are friendly, appreciative, and generally very happy to work up cases.
Our current case load is approximately 70% small animals and 30% large animals (with a mix of dairy, beef, horses, small ruminants and wildlife). Our clinic is very well equipped with: EzyVet Practice Management Software; in-house haematology and biochemistry; Digital Radiography; MindRay M6 Small Animal Ultrasound; IM3 Dental Unit; Pulse Oximetry; Blood Pressure Monitoring; Ap-Alert’s; Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Surgical Equipment; Surgical Suction; IV Fluid Pumps; Rhinoscope; and Video Endoscope. We’re due to move into a brand-new purpose-built facility in November set in lovely surroundings.
We’re lucky enough to have had an emergency small animal clinic open in Launceston within the last year so this position wouldn’t require any afterhours.
The remuneration package offered includes: working a 9-day fortnight; your salary (up to $140,000 per annum negotiated with experience); 4-weeks of annual leave; your AVA membership (including SIG); your Tasmanian State Board registration; 1-week of study leave; and an annual continuing education allowance.
Our clinic opening hours are from 8:30 am – 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
