Mixed Practice Vet New Grad
Western Rivers Veterinary Group
Job Description
THE BEST MIXED PRACTICE VET JOB GOING ROUND…
- Hunting for a spot in a genuine mixed practice clinic?
- Want a role that is more than just a job?
- Somewhere you can be a part of shaping how things are done day to day…
- And where you can be challenged and continue to learn and grow?
- Want to work with the best clients in the world?
Then there is an opportunity here for you…
We (Andrew Robertson 'Robbo' & Erica Kennedy 'EK') have been clinic owners for 5 years now. Robbo ventured south as a new grad (JCU) in 2015 and EK joined the fun after doing a mix of mixed practice and government field work since graduating from JCU in 2013. We are joined by the absolute rockstars Steph Archer (CSU 2019) and Hannah Edgell (USyd 2023).
We are bringing a fresh and positive approach to practice ownership and have a clear vision of what we want to create:
- A place where being a Vet is fun and professionally rewarding
- A tight knit team where we have each other's backs
- A place where you can learn and grow (professionally and personally) through mentorship and training.
If being appreciated and well paid are important…
If working in a team where everyone pulls their weight (no double standards) sounds good…
Then read on!
Who are we looking for?
You will be perfect for our team if…
- You love the cut and thrust of mixed practice
- You have a good sense of humour and can enjoy yourself
- You pride yourself on building excellent relationships with your clients (as valued community members and friends- we are more than just the Vet)
- You are an experienced vet wanting a change for the better or a keen new grad
Tell me more you say…
Our primary clinic is in Warren but we also have a home in Nyngan and service two satellite clinics each fortnight.
Our clients are the best! Predominantly they are beef and sheep producers and small animal owners. They really appreciate having a local Vet. They love us and we love them!
And what about the cases?
With the smallies we do it all with a heavy focus on preventative medicine. We punch above our weight in terms of practicing high quality medicine.
We see lots of farm accidents…
Think broken legs/torn tendons in sheep yards, mangled feet in motorbike chains, hay forks through abdomens, you name it and we've probably treated it or are about to….
We have the capacity to tackle orthopaedics in house but have the option to refer medical and surgical cases to specialists in Tamworth, Sydney and Wagga Wagga.
We also love being outside, not just to top up our VitD levels but to work with proactive producers to improve the productivity and profitability of their flock/herd. A day out could include: bull testing, preg testing, disease investigation, ambulatory horse work, calvings, vaccinating some farm dogs etc.
If you love variety, we got bucketloads!
If you want to check out where we work and who we are…
What's in it for you?
If you have the skills we've got the package that fits!
We are keen to create a package that suits you (we know one size doesn't always fit all).
We are not just saying this because it sounds good…
We genuinely care about the happiness and fulfillment of our vets. You can be confident that we appreciate and reward our team for high quality and dedicated work. Life-work balance is our priority because long term, we want this to be a place you don't want to leave.
Salary package including afterhours and super ranges from $95k-170k based on recent vet earnings.
Gym/sporting/other membership paid yearly. Conference/cpd allowance roughly $1500 per year but we love investing in out vets if there is something you're really keen on.
Afterhours roster is 1 in 4 and we are nearly always around to help-out (especially for a new/recent grad).
And it's not like we are in the middle of nowhere!
Warren is an agricultural town. There are heaps of young people either on properties or who work at businesses that service the Ag Industry (like ours). Between playing/watching footy, going to the pub/balls/races, having a hit of social tennis or throwing a netball around you'll meet heaps of great people.
Dubbo is an hour away and has everything you need. The airport services Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne daily and we think it's important that everyone gets away regularly.
Got some more questions?
Give us a call anytime to have a chat. We would love to have a yarn about whether we might be just what you're looking for!
