This clinical exposure has the potential to be interesting and rewarding, and the direct involvement of the diagnostic imaging specialist in clinical problem solving is well established, welcomed, and well respected among existing staff of the hospital.

The position involves performing and providing reports for diagnostic ultrasound examinations, the ad hoc provision of diagnostic imaging advice and interpretation to facilitate case management within the hospital, responding to email enquiries from bona fide referring veterinarians for assessment of diagnostic images and, when possible, the provision of written reports for CT studies performed within the hospital.

Further to the clinical aspects of the role, the diagnostic imaging specialist is central in the provision of advice on the purchase and upgrade of diagnostic imaging equipment and the ongoing expansion of existing imaging services at CARE. Active involvement in the provision of staff continuing education and contribution to the maintenance of diagnostic imaging protocols would be expected.

The working hours of the position are flexible and negotiable, being either part or full time depending on the availability of the successful applicant, and do not typically involve after-hours work. An attractive remuneration package would be negotiated, including four weeks’ annual leave and one week of study leave annually (full time pro-rata). Relocation assistance is available for successful interstate or international candidates.

How to apply

Applications, including letter of intent and CV, or any enquiries, should be directed to Ms Kelley Johnson at kjohnson@carevet.com.au

ALICE SPRINGS, THE RED CENTRE, NT - FULL TIME MIXED/WILDLIFE

Experienced Mixed Practice Veterinarian for young, energetic and rapidly growing practice in one of the most vibrant townships in Australia – Alice Springs.

Are you “worth” well over $100k/annum but currently settling for less?
Are you having to sacrifice work-life balance to pay the bills? Would 4 day weeks or having 15 weeks per year leave on top of a real salary make life more fun?
Do you want to practice in a newly renovated, purpose built, well equipped practice?
Do you also want to do the fun stuff- camping out bush, routine visits to places like Kings Canyon and Uluru, kangaroos (we provide services to the Kangaroo Sanctuary of Kangaroo Dundee fame), wombats, reptiles, birds, emus and camels can be your patients.

Northern Territory Veterinary Services’ Alice Veterinary Centre is rapidly growing and we are seeking a fifth veterinarian to join our friendly team. Ideally you will have mixed practice experience or at least be competent with small animals and basic ambulatory pleasure horse practice and we’ll show you the rest.

The Practice: The practice is recently renovated, expanding into a large purpose built, fully air conditioned and includes two dedicated surgical theatre, large prep/treatment room, separate dog and cat wards, and horse stables. Equipment includes digital x-ray, 2 ultrasounds, endoscopes, in house Idexx lab machines, fluid pumps, pulse ox, ECG and BP monitors, digital dental xray, iM3 dental machine, orthopaedic equipment (TPLO and Stryker Drills), fully computerized with Rx works and 3 vehicles equipped for large animal ambulatory practice and remote community work. The clinic is rapidly expanding with the majority of the work being small animal and equine. We work also with the local wildlife centres and parks, treating a variety of native wildlife. We do a small amount of cattle station work, and this area can be focused on and grown if desired.

Please click here to see photos!

Remote Indigenous Community Practice: In Alice Springs, we also operate Aboriginal Community Veterinary Services, providing services to remote indigenous communities throughout the whole NT. Community trips will be fully mentored and then accompanied with a nurse. Visits last for 1 to 14 days, averaging 5 days in duration and often travelling to spectacular and otherwise inaccessible areas including Uluru and the MacDonnell Ranges. Our remote work offers unique veterinary experiences in remote areas not normally seen by the general public. It is a great way to enhance animal welfare in remote communities.

The Position: We are seeking an experienced small animal or mixed animal veterinarian to help expand the practice which has grown rapidly. Applicants can be predominantly small animal or equine focused, but an interest and/or willingness to participate in mixed animal practice will be considered highly. Small animal work which is a large percentage of the practice includes routine small animal medicine and surgery with advanced surgical options if desired, and a small component of birds, natives and exotics. Equine work is routine ambulatory practice for pleasure and station horses and local racetrack attendance. Willingness to travel to remote Aboriginal Communities and overseas to take part in dog and cat health and control programs is also encouraged.

Continuing Education: At NTVS, we encourage further education and offer at least 1 week of continuing education per year to our veterinary staff. We will send staff to courses and conferences to help further their skills and knowledge in a variety of different areas. Special interests are encouraged and we strongly follow best practice and evidence based medicine.

The Town: Alice Springs is a bustling town and far from being in the middle of nowhere. It has an extremely well serviced airport to all major capital cities, loads of shops, café’s, restaurants, schools, sports and cultural activities. Just a 2 hour flight to Darwin and most places. It is surrounded by many national parks some of them internationally renown including Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Kings Canyon, Palm Valley and the Larrapinta Trail. Its magnificent landscapes lend themselves to an active outdoors lifestyle. Major festivals and events include the Finke Desert Race, Masters Games, Henley-on-Todd Regatta, Camel Cup, and Alice Desert Festival to name a few.

Salary: We are offering a generous salary package of up to $140k (commensurate with experience) + profit sharing and partnership prospects if desired. Total annual leave and days off of up to 15 weeks per year (4 weeks annual leave, 1+ week study leave and accumulated RDO’s) leaves plenty of time for exploring the area, visits interstate or overseas holidays. Salary sacrifice options are also available for rent and other items which can help maximise your after tax income.

UPPER COOMERA/ORMEAU, GOLD COAST, QLD - FULL TIME AVIAN/EXOTICS New Position

The Vet Lounge – Upper Coomera / Ormeau

We’re looking for ‘The missing piece’ to our veterinary team! Have you got something different to add? Do you love birds and maybe exotics?

Our team is made up of;

Dr Michele Rebelo – Over 25 years experience with a Membership in Emergency & Critical Care. An all round guru vet who knows everything about everything and then some more (sometimes we wonder if she’s human )………oh and she’s a gun on the ultrasound and everyone loves her. You won’t find a smarter, more lovely vet.

Dr Robert Auricht – Over 30 years experience and is an Advanced Soft Tissue and Orthopaedic Surgeon. Between Rob & Michele, there isn’t much surgery we can’t do in-house!

Dr Susannah Bolte – Over 5 years experience and a brilliant surgeon. Quick Draw McGraw with the scalpel! Susannah is also a large animal vet so takes care of all of the large animal work. The nurses love her as she’s always helping someone! A fabulous team player.

Dr Tamara Beasley – Over 3 years experience with a special interest in repro work, so she obviously looks after our breeding clients. Tamara has a special interest in medicine and is learning from Dr Michele. Tamara is very chatty and the clients & team love her. She just won Employee of the Month!

Dr Caitlin Ghent – 12 months experience. Caitlin is our new grad but she’s so good at communication with clients that she has a big client following already. This girls not afraid to take on new challenges! Ex lap? Caitlin's got her hand up! Everyone wants to work with Caitlin because she never stops smiling. Seriously, never. She’s brightens up any room she walks into.

There’s a common theme with our vets. Did you see it?
They are all really lovely, genuine people, who are excel in their own areas of interest. But to make this team complete we need a vet who is interested in birds and maybe pocket pets, but mostly birds. When Dr Michael was with us full time, we had lots of practices refer bird clients to us. We were the ‘go to’ for birds. Sadly, we don’t have someone free all the time now so our Avian friends have no place to go without fighting the M1 and heading to Brisbane.

Interested in birds but not 100% confident yet? No worries. We’re willing to send you on courses and offer some training. The good news is, Dr Stacey Gelis works for one of our practices on the Sunshine Coast and he’s one of the best Avian Vets in the country! Dr Stacey graduated from vet school in 1991 and in 1995 obtained a Membership in Avian Medicine. As with all of our vets, he’s totally lovely and always willing to help and give advice. What an opportunity!!!

Toys / equipment
Now I could waffle on about all the toys we have but we know that’s not why you choose a practice. It’s the people that matter and we’ve introduced you to the team. A positive working environment is super important to us. No bitching, moaning and whinging – we work together to provide amazing patient care, then go home, have a wine, and feel great about what we offered the world today. It’s a great environment to work in and we’re even happy for you to call the practice and speak to one of the vets just to make sure we’re not mongrels to work for (I bribed them with Crispy Cremes to say nice things so I’m confident). Seriously, call them to see if its the right job for you. The number is (07) 5502 3333.

FORMALITIES
The job is full time 38 hours. Salary depends on who you are what you’re adding to the team but we always pay above award. The roster is currently 1 in 2 Saturday mornings & 4 days per week.

We’ve just started opening all day Saturday and Sunday, however Dr Michele (our guru medical and emergency vet) works the Saturday afternoons and Sundays each week. We ask our vets to be available when Dr Michele is away or unwell. So…..not many at all.

If you’d like to be part of a team long term and have an interest in Avian medicine, we’d like to hear from you. BUT….if you’re just a really great all-round GP vet who is great with client service, we want to hear from you too! Vets with experience with Birds or an interest in birds however, will have a little edge.

The job will be split between our Ormeau practice and Coomera practice. It’s all negotiable though, so come in and we’ll chat about what you want.

HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A CHAT
Send your CV to mary@vetlounge.com.au & we’ll call you to work out a time.
Lots of opportunities here in a family environment with high standards of care. Can’t wait to meet you.
