Veterinary Surgeon, Canberra, Australia $80k – $130k.
You are an ambitious vet who wants to make the most of your career.
Working all hours for a tired practice that doesn’t care isn’t what you signed up for!
Sitting at your desk on a rare break, the thought of working overseas excites you.
How about a new adventure 10,000 miles away?
The outdoor lifestyle, the mountains, the beaches, the long blue-sky days, and their ‘happy-go-lucky’ attitude to life. Australia has it all.
Curious, tempted then read on.
What if we knew of a modern independent in Canberra?  A business with 11 practices each with their own unique personality, run as individual practices with a real ‘family feel,’ about them staffed by dedicated teams who want their best for patient and practice.
Luckily, we do and this one is hiring.
With two more sites opening next year they are expanding and hiring for growth.  They are looking for an SA vet to join their team. Whatever your interests they will help by finding a role in the clinic that is the best fit for you. 
This is a business where everyone pulls together when there’s work, and relaxes when it’s time, a real community. Without the shackles of a large vet group, decisions can be made quickly and ideas are encouraged. 
New graduates are welcome to apply, but what is most important is an emphatic vet, a real team player who wants to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in from the start. 
They have a structured new graduate program which includes providing a mentor from one of the other practices in the group plus continuous CPD, financial support, and on-the-job learning. With 60 vets and a vast range of expertise across the practices, you will never be short of a helping hand.
If you want to help the community and give back they work with charities such as Pets in the Park, Domestic Violence Support, and local animal rescue organisations plus run their own charitable organisation.
They are super flexible on hours here, 4 days a week or P/T, you choose.   1: 4 Saturdays, no Sundays, public holidays, or OOH’s. Work-life balance means a lot here.

So, what’s in it for you?  
$80- $130k, 4 weeks annual leave, all vet fees paid for, a wellness allowance, free gym, Medicare, a relocation allowance, and accommodation provided on arrival.  They’re interested in improving all their vets, investing in them. Because it’s mutually beneficial. There is a substantial CPD allowance, active learning is encouraged and supported.
For those who are interested, there are leadership opportunities and a potential for partnership in the future. 
Located in the beautiful city of  Canberra, you have everything on your doorstep, great ‘Aussie bars,’ restaurants, shops, museums, plenty of outdoor sports plus the Brindabell National Park is only a stone’s throw away. 
Fancy a weekend away? With  2 hours you could be skiing on the mountain or hitting those amazing Australian Beaches!
So, what’s next?
Send your CV, don’t worry if it’s not up to date. We can’t get the whole story in a job ad so ask any questions. I’ll answer honestly, no hard sell.
Enjoy being a vet again on the other side of the world.
