🐾 FULL-TIME VET WANTED 🐾 (Fixed Term)

Location: Morpeth Veterinary Hospital, Hunter Valley NSW

Position: Equal parts animal whisperer, detective, and occasional mud-wrestler.

Are you a vet who doesn’t mind the occasional cow stare-down, can spot a colic case from a mile away, and still finds joy in a good old-fashioned consult with Mr. Whiskers? Then Morpeth Veterinary Hospital wants you!

We’re a well-established mixed animal practice in the beautiful Hunter Valley of NSW, catering to everything from cats and cattle to alpacas and the occasional mystery patient (“I don’t know what it is, but it’s limping”). We’re also one of the few clinics offering after-hours care, because animals love to keep life interesting - even on a Sunday!

Here’s what we offer:

• A supportive, experienced team that laughs with you (and sometimes at you, lovingly).
• A truly mixed caseload—if variety is the spice of life, we’re vindaloo.
• A unique building with the perfect amount of quirk to keep you on your toes with ALL the fun vet toys!
• A rotating after-hours roster—because although the extra money is cool, having a life is fun too and we couldn’t appreciate the value in a healthy work-life balance more! ONE weekend every SIX weeks (+ an occasional weeknight)
• Competitive salary, CPD allowance, and real opportunities for professional growth.
• Bonus points if you can wrangle a goat and still make it to lunch on time.

This a 12 month fixed term contract starting September 2025 with the potential to extend beyond this for the right candidate.

Who you are:

• A qualified veterinarian with a sense of humour and a strong constitution.
• Confident with both small and large animals—or willing to get your boots dirty trying.
• Able to thrive in a team that works hard, plays harder, and supports each other no matter what walks (or trots) through the door.
• Ready to jump into a community-minded (non corporate) practice with a loyal client base and plenty of four-legged drama.

So if you’re looking for a role where no two days are the same, and your co-workers might include a Kelpie, a Shetland pony, and a very judgmental cat—this is your moment.
