Come and join us in beautiful North West Tasmania. Town and Country Veterinary Service are excited to open an employment opportunity for a vet in our rapidly expanding mixed practice. Currently a 3 vet practice with a great team of enthusiastic, dedicated and fun-loving nurses, we are wanting to expand to 4 vets to meet our expanding/increasing demand.
We are located in Somerset, a small township close to the larger regional centre of Burnie. Tassie is a great place to live and raise a family. There is a large choice of primary and secondary schools, both private and public. Melbourne is a 1 hour flight away and the nearest airport is only 15 minutes from the clinic. In easy reach of rain forest, Cradle Mountain and the rugged West Coat; the temperate climate is perfect bush walking, fishing, biking and other outdoor activities. The best of country living with all the amenities of a small city on your doorstep.
We are a family-owned practice and our close-knit supportive team reflect those values. We encourage teamwork and learning. Workload is currently 70% small animal, 30% large animal with a focus on dairy. Clinic hours 8:30 – 5:30 with no weekend clinic.
We are well equipped with equipment including inhouse lab (Vet Scan biochemistry, Abaxis haematology, digital slide scanner and pathology), BCF Mindray6 ultrasound, orthopaedics kit with cordless Milwaukee drill, digital x-ray (plus x-ray table with built in plate), IM3 dental machine and x-ray, multiple anaesthetic machines, and all the usual monitoring equipment. Small animal case load is extremely varied. You will get to work up cases that would be referred in the city. For those trickier surgery cases, we have a surgeon who visits the practice.
Farm clients are progressive and friendly – people who will still give you a cuppa and the occasional meal. Farms range from large seasonal dairy herds to hobby blocks. Case load includes calvings, general emergencies, pregnancy testing, reproductive work, lameness and disease and mastitis investigations etc. 2 BCF ultrasounds (Easi-scan linear and Easi-scan curve) with BUG goggles and wireless screen for preg testing. Fully equipped vehicles.
