Are you looking for a tropical change? Fancy living somewhere warm all year round, with Bali and Singapore on the doorstep? Interested in working somewhere that pays exceptionally well and really does value that elusive work-life balance? We have the perfect job for you!
Darwin Veterinary Hospital is seeking an enthusiastic, experienced veterinarian with effective communication skills and a desire to practice excellent quality veterinary medicine to join our supportive, friendly team.
We are located in the northern suburbs of Darwin, conveniently close to both the city and the beautiful beaches. Our long-established, purpose-built hospital is fully air conditioned, spacious and well equipped, with 2 dedicated operating theatres, a large prep room, in-clinic pathology, endoscopy, iM3 dental machine, digital and dental radiography, and ultrasound. We currently have 3 full time vets, 2 part time vets, a caring, experienced nursing team, a dedicated receptionist, plus kennel hands.
We pride ourselves on providing the highest level of care and service to our patients, with 20 minute standard consultations & 30 minutes for more complicated cases, allowing plenty of time to establish good relationships with our clients and their pets, and offer a thorough and thoughtful service. We also host the Territory’s only surgical specialist every second month, alternating with our sister clinic in the rural area, and the position offers the opportunity to work alongside and learn from him, should that be of interest.
The position is full time, working 4 days a week. However, we are also happy to consider applicants seeking a part time option. Weekends are equally shared, and after-hours duties are limited to 1-2 nights on call per month. We are committed to ensuring a good work-life balance for all our staff and provide a supportive and friendly working environment for everyone, with regular meetings and social events.
We are offering a salary between $110,000 to 140,000, depending on experience, with 4 weeks’ paid annual leave and 1 week paid study leave, plus additional benefits such as paid NT Veterinary registration, and assistance with accommodation and relocation costs if required. We actively encourage and financially support continuing education in whatever field of interest our staff choose to pursue, to enhance the services we offer our clients. Darwin Veterinary Hospital is an approved business sponsor and we can consider applicants from overseas who hold a Veterinary qualification recognised in Australia.
