1-2 positions – permanent part time Monday afternoons +/- Saturdays +/- Sundays.

We are looking for 1-2 Veterinarians to join our 11 Vet, 23 nurse team.  We have a mix of full time and part time staff with a couple of vets who work every now and then (maternity leave/other jobs etc..).

Experience is preferred however recent graduates are also welcome to apply.  The positions are based at the 2 practices which are within 5km of each other.  Applicants will work at one or both practices and work with at least one or two other experienced veterinarians, and 4-5 nurses at Maribyrnong, and 1 other experienced veterinarian and 3-4 nurses at Avondale Heights. There will be opportunities to work more shifts on other days should it be so desired given that someone is always on holidays.  We do our rosters 4 weeks in advance for 3 month blocks so the position can suit someone who has jobs elsewhere/locum work etc… and wants to forward plan their lives. Whilst we are looking for someone to work every Monday, the long term rostering allows for flexibility as well.

About us:

Maribyrnong is open 7 days per week, whilst Avondale Heights is open 5 weekdays and 3 hours on a Saturday morning.  The nurses at both practices are highly skilled and routinely take bloods, place catheters, perform radiographs, write clinical notes etc…  Nearly all staff rotate between the 2 practices.  PMS is Customerlogic which is super user friendly; we have DR xray, CR dental, capnographs, bear huggers, dental base, bp, inhouse path, and great referral services locally as well as visiting medical consultants and specialist surgeons on an approximate weekly visiting basis. A dedicated off-site Vet looks after our HR, and external payroll takes care of all things wage related.

No after hours. Daily lunch super important, so too coffee/chai/ English breakfast/green tea with or without jasmine and hot chocolate. There is a great cafe next door, and inhouse foodie and hot/cold beverage culture desired, but not essential. We try to make our workplaces as comfortable and stress free as possible, with plenty of staff on to do the job at all times, and pride ourselves on great customer care, a friendly supportive working environment and great Veterinary service.

The position description applicant requirements:

• Monday afternoons are typically a consulting shift with 4-5 nurses working until 7pm. 
• No sole charge is expected for recent graduates.  
• Common sense, teamwork and most importantly being nice and friendly.

Salary to be negotiated based on experience.  All usual entitlements included and stated in the workplace agreement/contract. Please email all enquiries to doc.adrian@gmail.com
