Are you a passionate and motivated veterinarian looking for your next team? Join the team at AES Hawthorn East, where you will be surrounded by a supportive, skilled, and dynamic group of professionals in a state-of-the-art emergency and critical care clinic.

About the Role

This is a permanent part-time ECC Vet role, contracted for 40–60 hours per fortnight (more hours considered for the right candidate). You’ll work a variety of shifts including consulting, surgical, medical, and intensive care (ICU). Expect a mix of consulting and hospital shifts with a nice balance of ECC and critical care.

We prioritise work-life balance with 10-hour shifts and support around shifts. AES Hawthorn East is a 24-hour clinic, so rosters are fairly distributed across the day and night, however, you must expect to work some night shifts.

You’ll work alongside some of the best ECC professionals in the industry, with a strong focus on mentorship and knowledge-sharing. Access to on-site specialists during the day is available for support. We roster 2 in 4 weekends and rosters are designed to support your lifestyle while ensuring you thrive both professionally and personally.
