Job Description

🚨 Associate Veterinarian (Part-Time to Full-Time) 🚨
Location: Eltham Veterinary Practice, Eltham Victoria

Starts part-time with full-time potential, recent graduates welcome to apply

Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where teamwork, compassion, and the occasional dog in a tutu are all part of the job? Are you the kind of vet who not only knows their stuff but actually cares—about patients, pet parents, and not leaving the surgery room light on? Then congratulations—you might be just what 8we’re looking for.

🏥 About Us:

At Eltham Veterinary Practice we’re not just a veterinary practice—we're a team powered by Respect, Teamwork, Compassion, Integrity, and High Standards. Basically, we try to be the kind of people our pets think we are. Eltham Veterinary Practice (EVP), co-owned by Drs Steve Pryor and Gus Braniff is seeking a Veterinarian in our award-winning INDEPENDENT practice in the beautiful bushland suburb of Eltham.

We're growing, and we want someone who’s in it for the long haul—or at least longer than your average houseplant.

🐾 What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Practicing excellent veterinary medicine with the backup of a supportive, snacks-stocked team
  • Building trust and rapport with clients—because you're not just treating animals, you're reassuring the people who love them
  • Handling everything from routine check-ups to “uh-oh, this just happened” emergencies
  • Switching tasks mid-sentence if needed (because yes, sometimes the cat sneezes and the dog throws up—at the same time)

 The Ideal You:

  • Friendly, warm, and honestly... honest
  • Hardworking with the stamina of a Labrador puppy on espresso
  • Naturally good at customer service and building genuine relationships (we like people who like people and pets)
  • Able to keep calm, manage time like a pro, and maintain grace under pressure—even if someone brought in a wombat with a bad attitude
  • Happy to take ownership of your role—you know what needs doing and you get it done
  • Willing to learn, open to feedback, and not afraid to ask questions (or laugh at Gus’s jokes)
  • Independent enough to work solo – (would do this rarely), but team-minded enough to back up your colleagues without being asked
  • Flexible when plans change (which they do… often… usually mid-coffee)

🎁 What You Get:

  • Competitive pay (we know what you’re worth)
  • A friendly, respectful team that actually likes working together
  • Flexible hours and a chance to grow into a full-time role
  • Weekly lunch bought by practice followed by 2 hour staff meeting/training session
  • Opportunities for ongoing learning—because we love curiosity
  • A workplace where your values really matter
  • The unofficial clinic motto: "Serious about medicine/surgery. Slightly less serious about everything else."

If you're ready to join a practice where respect is real, teamwork is tight, and we laugh at the chaos instead of crying about it, we’d love to hear from you.

📧 Send us your resume to steve@elthamvet.com.au, a short note about why this feels like your kind of place, and (optional but encouraged) any good jokes/memes.

Join our passionate team and be part of an exciting journey in veterinary care.
