Clinton Street Veterinary Clinic is seeking a fifth veterinarian to join our team. We think the position is perfect for a new graduate but experienced vets are welcome to apply.

We are looking for someone with a great attitude, great customer service skills and someone to work as a team while treating animals large and small. We see about 70% small animals, 20% horses and 10% livestock with plenty of wildlife thrown in the mix. We work with a range of animal rescue organisations as well as service the local animal shelter. We are a busy genuine mixed practice and enjoy the variety of looking after all species, great and small.

What we can offer you:

  • Two partners who have a belief that there are no dumb questions and want to support you into becoming a great mixed practice veterinarian.
  • An above award salary and 50% professional fee for afterhours.
  • A shared work vehicle, fully stocked for all large animal requirements.
  • An excellent team of hard working nurses.
  • Support for special interests including willingness to invest in equipment or training to support those interests. We don’t believe in setting limits on continuing education costs and have sent all our other vets on practical courses offered by Vetprac or CVE. If you can demonstrate how learning this new skill will benefit the clinic, then we will pay for it.
  • Clinic subscription to the VetVault clinical podcasts.
  • Cafe coffee delivered each morning and lunch provided for monthly staff meetings.
  • A four day work week with rotating days off so you can enjoy long weekends much more regularly than the occasional public holiday long weekend.
  • Help with accommodation while you get established in a new town.

We are hiring someone with the right “soft skills”, who wants to provide high levels of patient care and a can-do attitude. We will teach you how to remove a broken carnassial, how to spey a Labrador, how to tube a horse, how to deliver a calf. One of the partners owns a farm with cows and horses, so if you want to have some extra practice on live animals, we can organise extra tutorials on what ever skills you want to perfect. If you have some experience as a vet and can do all of these things, then let us know what you want to get better at and we will teach you.

We are a privately owned veterinary clinic and have all the toys that a clinic should have including: Ultrasound, digital xray, dental xray, in house blood machines (haematology, biochemistry, clotting times and progesterone), Capnography, Blood pressure on every anaesthetic monitoring device, IM3 dental station and the largest autoclave machine that you probably have ever seen in a Mixed Practice.

For large animals we have BCF cattle ultrasound, Bull testing kit, Equine portable DR xray machine, portable equine crush trailer, terrafloat equine dental machines and ultrasounds for mares. As well as all the necessary equipment for orthopaedics (including TPLO and MMP procedures for cruciates) and soft tissue surgery. We manage most things in house but have access to the Animal Referral Hospital in Canberra to send any specialist level treatments.

The Clinton Street Veterinary Clinic is located in Goulburn approximately 2 hours south of Sydney and one hour north of Canberra. You have probably stopped at McDonalds near the Big Merino at some point in your life if you have driven around country NSW. We are a town of 30,000 and have a diverse range of sporting teams and hobbies to partake in. We have affordable housing / rent, a Kmart, a Bunnings and a Target (a real one, not a Target Country).
