An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a growing small animal boutique practice in a coastal suburb of Brisbane North. We are looking for a permanent full-time colleague wanting to settle into this wonderful community.

Third Avenue Veterinary Surgery is a friendly, family owned 3 vet practice where team culture and well-being trump KPIs! We are big enough to have all the equipment and toys you could want, while being small enough to genuinely care about our people and community. Our nurses work hard to make the day run as smoothly as possible and are hands on in assisting the vets with cases.

We pride ourselves on creating a friendly and welcoming clinic environment and take our time to get to know the families and their pets. We genuinely feel our clinic is a lovely place to come to work and we enjoy sharing our successes as a team, discuss our challenges and always strive to support each other.

Come and join us and practice veterinary medicine as it was always meant to be:

• Small animal only.
• Enough consult time to really get to know your patients and clients.
• A diverse caseload allowing continued growth as well as the mentorship, time and equipment to work cases up thoroughly.
• A young boss, who will work alongside you and harder than you!
• A culture of support, mentorship, mastery and autonomy.
• An idyllic location, surrounded by educated and grateful clients wanting the best for their pets.

Our ideal candidate would be  2-5 years qualified, small animal veterinarian looking to progress their career but new graduates are welcome to apply. We are looking for somebody excited about their career, wanting to find a practice where they can settle long term and thrive.

The role will be a permanent full-time role including every 2nd Saturday morning (our Clinic hours are 8:00am – 5:30 pm Monday to Friday and 9am – 12pm on Saturdays).  These hours can be split over 4 days a week, giving you a regular day off each week to enjoy your beautiful surroundings and ensure that your work life balance is maintained. No after hours, public holidays or Sundays. All emergencies are referred to nearby hospitals. On the rare occasion sole-charge may be required.

You need to have excellent organisational and time management skills, including high attention to detail and the ability to prioritise tasks within a busy work schedule.
Our salary package is well above award and will be commensurate with your experience. CPD is actively encouraged and $1 000 will be allocated to your professional development per annum. Your mentor has special interests in soft tissue surgery, exotics and reproduction and loves training. Our aim is to invest in you and enable you to be the best and happiest vet that you can be. That way we all win, patients, clients, the business and you!

Do you want to be part of a team that values everyone’s wellbeing and continue to promote our positive clinic environment and you see a long-term future with the clinic and want to grow with us.

Our culture is such that once found few leave, so this opportunity may not represent for a while.

If this sounds like the opportunity for you, please send a cover letter as well as your resume and the contact details of three referees to Garreth van Bart thirdavenuevets@gmail.com
