Job Description

Highton/Tarneit | $65–$85 per hour | Part Time or Full Time | Co Clinical Lead opportunities

Design a role around your life - without compromising clinical standards, team culture, or your career runway.

We have one leadership and experienced veterinarian opportunity in our Geelong clinics including Highton Village Vet and Fur Life Vet Tarneit. You will be backed by the wider Apiam network and our close-knit Geelong group of clinics including Tarneit, Highton and Torquay, with awesome nurses and experienced vets in every clinic.

Why you will love this opportunity:

  • True flexibility: Full time, part time, school friendly, or 4 day week—we’ll shape the roster to fit your life.
  • Leadership pathway: Step into a co clinical lead role now or develop your leadership skills with our experienced veterinary team support and mentoring.
  • Lifestyle friendly: No routine after hours or on call so you can recharge properly.
  • Incredible team support: Work alongside talented nurses and vets in every clinic, plus the broader Apiam network for advice, CE, and case collaboration. You’ll never feel isolated—there’s always someone to back you up or bounce ideas off.

Choose your home base (or mix both)

  • Highton Village Vet (Geelong): Newly renovated, community focused clinic where experienced vets can take the reins with autonomy, supported by a skilled nursing/reception team and nearby emergency/specialist centres for complex cases.
  • Tarneit (Fur Life Vet): Purpose built, modern clinic with three consult rooms, dedicated surgical theatre, imaging & dental suites, and a fully equipped in house lab—ideal for delivering high quality GP medicine and surgery.

Love the Geelong lifestyle? Highton sits by the Barwon River with riverside walks, Buckley Falls, Queens Park, and easy access to the Surf Coast and Melbourne via the Ring Road.

The work you will do

  • High quality small animal GP: consults, routine surgery & dentistry, and medical case management end to end.
  • We’ll shape work to your strengths (dentistry, soft tissue, consult heavy, or medicine focused).
  • Mentor and lead (solo or co lead) a positive, down to earth team culture.

What you will bring

  • 3+ years’ small animal GP experience and confidence with routine surgery & dentistry.
  • Collaborative style, excellent client care, and comfort working independently with support.
  • Enthusiasm and drive to make a difference and lead by example.

Benefits that make a difference

  • Paid study leave + generous CPD allowance, paid volunteer leave, paid parental leave (in addition to the government scheme).
  • Discounts on pet care, gym, travel, and access to mental health & wellbeing programs.
  • Lifestyle friendly rostering with no routine after hours or on call.
  • $65–$85 per hour (experience & leadership contribution considered).
