Why work at Seaside Vet Surgery? Because we care about you!
What do you care about? What’s important to you at work? Have a think about that while we tell you what’s important to us.
Drs Nat Wakeham and Amanda Bunney got into practice ownership in 2019 because we care about the profession and looking after the people in it. We’ve been vets for ages, working with so many fantastic vets and nurses. Our priority, and the reason we wanted to be practice owners, is to keep good vets and nurses in the profession. We’re working really hard on our team and our culture, to make Seaside Vet Surgery a great place to be.
We work hard to create place that is welcoming, inclusive, fun and caring. We like having a joke and a laugh, but we don’t like triangular conversations or gossip. We have a lovely client base here on the Yorke Peninsula.
What is also important to us is closing at 5pm and taking our dog to the beach! We really value work-life balance. Wallaroo is a beautiful seaside town on the Yorke Peninsula, which fills to the brim during school holidays and over summer as this is a great place to swim, snorkel, fish, kite-surf, jet-ski, lounge around on the beach, head over to the wine regions for the weekend, go to the pub or out for tea, or to just chill and watch Netflix at home!
We are a 3-4 vet small animal practice. Our nurses are trained and skilled, to allow the vets to just do what vets do. We do all the usual small animal vet work, with all the regular toys. We are actively reinvesting in the business and the premises, to continually improve on the standards of care and comfort we can offer to our patients and our team.
We encourage collaboration and discussion, and the sharing of ideas and feedback from the whole team. Seaside is committed to developing and supporting our vets, in the form of mentoring and coaching, personal flexibility, and flexible study leave and study allowances. Our vets are currently undertaking the Leading Edge program with the Lincoln Institute. We also encourage you to take regular time off, and do what you need to do to look after yourself and your mental health.
Being privately owned, we are agile and can respond quickly to the needs of our team and our community. We value looking after each individual team member, factoring in your family, sporting and social obligations to our rosters and forward planning. We are LGBTQIA+ friendly, family friendly, tattoo and coloured hair friendly, and enough of us use humour to deal with our anxiety, so we’re entertaining as well. Drs Nat and Amanda are currently doing the Lincoln Institute’s Lead to Succeed Program, as we are striving to continually improve our management and leadership skills.
We are looking for a part or full-time vet to start in October 2024, ready to help out with our busy summer period.. Experience is preferred, but we welcome applications from new and recent graduates as well. Salary is negotiable and will be reviewed regularly, and comes with additional benefits and perks.
We can contribute to moving costs for the right candidate, or travel costs for those commuting from off the Yorke Peninsula, and we may be able to help secure a rental property for you (very competitive market locally).
So if patient advocacy, good communication and great teamwork are important to you, as well as all the stuff above, we’d love to hear from you. Shoot us an email at amanda@seasidevet.com.au, or call Amanda on 0418 659 067 for a chat. Speak soon!
