Experienced Veterinarian - Full time at independently owned and operated, newly renovated clinic.

About us:

The Moorabbin Veterinary Hospital is a large, purpose-built small animal practice.

We have just completed a major renovation and now have a new modern hospital with separate dog and cat wards, open workspace with wet table, separate dental suite, imaging room, enlarged surgery and a very comfortable staffroom.

Established in 1958, we pride ourselves on our thriving, collaborative and organised working environment. We are independently owned and operated by two currently practising veterinarians, who, like you, want to work in a pleasant environment in a sustainable way.

We know that burn out is real, so our break times are scheduled and respected and overtime is very minimal. We are big on giving you enough time to do your job well, with routine appointments being allocated 20 minutes, and the more complicated cases allocated 30 minutes. We have a large clientele base that are very appreciative and will allow you to work up cases properly.

This job is a great opportunity for you to work to the highest level of general practice care, with colleagues who are compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled.

We are a 10-veterinarian team, typically running with 4-5 vets per weekday, who are supported by 5-6 nurses and 2 dedicated receptionists each day.

We have all the usual high-tech equipment, including wall mounted CR Vet digital dental x-rays, IM3 Vet-Tome, Tono Vet tonometry hand piece, video otoscope and high-quality ultrasound with 2 newly upgraded probes. Plus, we have a new Breville Espresso coffee machine, because we know good coffee is just as important as good veterinary equipment!

Our surgical suite is fully equipped for advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures. If surgery is your thing there are plenty of opportunities to get your hands bloody, collaborate with an experienced membership surgeon and scrub in with visiting specialists.

If your interests lay outside of the theatre, 3 of our vets have memberships in medicine, along with others working towards memberships in behaviour, medicine, and imaging that you can collaborate with. Other areas of interest amongst our experienced team include clinical pathology, ophthalmology, dentistry, and ultrasonography. Need help? We’ve got your back!

No matter your area of interest we encourage you to forge your own path and are happy to financially support continuing education and the purchase of specialised equipment. There’s plenty of opportunities for internal referrals to allow you to see the cases you are most interested in.

About you:

We are looking for a full-time veterinarian. Being a part of our rotating weekend roster is a must.

Our ideal candidate must be passionate about delivering high quality clinical care, whilst having empathy and being a strong communicator.

Thorough case work up, maintaining good client relationships and long-term planning are equally important skills. On top of all the serious stuff, we don’t mind having a laugh and are looking for someone who can fit in with a fun bunch of individuals who aren’t afraid to have a good time.

Whether you’re seeking a new challenge, a shift in career direction or a relocation to a new environment, we would love to have a chat. If you have any questions or require further information about the role, please do not hesitate to reach out.
