DAIRY FLAT, HIBISCUS COAST - MIXED New Position

Are you looking for a position where no two days are ever the same? Where you can help animals of all shapes and sizes and work within a team who have each-others back, enjoy a laugh (and the odd wine) and are committed to their patients, clients and each other!

Do you want to enjoy a rural lifestyle close to beautiful beaches and the Hauraki Gulf while being a stone’s throw from Auckland and all the social, sporting and cultural experiences it offers?

THEN WE HAVE A ROLE FOR YOU!!!

Dairy Flat Vet Hospital is a mixed practice with a large & growing client base mainly focused around small (80%) and lifestyle block animals and sport/pleasure horses (20%). We are looking for a mixed animal veterinarian dedicated to practising good quality medicine and having fun while you do it! The position could be full or part time. Some after-hours for large animals only is required but this is traditionally very quiet and a day off in lieu following a weekend on call is standard.

The clinic is well equipped with digital DR x-ray, fixed & portable U/S, endoscopy, Abaxis laboratory equipment and separate cat/dog and isolation hospitalisation areas.

Dairy flat vet hospital is part of the independently owned Veterinary Hospital Group. Within the group there are 30+ vets including those with special interests and advanced training in surgery, internal medicine, feline medicine, dermatology and ophthalmology.

There is a generous baseline CPD allowance, frequent group CPD, and the potential to enter our “advanced practitioner pathway” where additional funding and time off to study can be provided.

We focus on providing an extremely supportive work environment with friendly staff dedicated to providing excellent patient care.

Remuneration is based on experience and expertise between $90,000 and $145,000 FTE PLUS Vet council and NZVA registration and a generous CPD allowance.

FANCY A WALK ON THE BEACH AT LUNCHTIME? THEN WE HAVE A ROLE FOR YOU!!!

What we can offer:

Location, location, location – this role is based on the Whangaporoa peninsula – close enough to Auckland so that you can enjoy all the sporting and cultural pursuits that the big city has to offer while being a stones throw from many gorgeous Pohutukawa lined beaches and the beautiful Hauraki gulf, perfect for relaxation and recreation. A bonus, accommodation is more cost effective here than in the central city!
Flexibility – We recognise that work life balance and integration looks different for everyone. This role could be full time (over 4 or 5 days) or part time depending on what you are looking for. There is flexibility with days worked and shift times to suit your lifestyle and family commitments.
This role could be completely based at our Peninsula Bay clinic which is a 1-2 vet practice, with a very manageable workload, excellent nurse support and loyal and motivated clients or, if you prefer a combination of relaxed and more fast paced work, shifts could be split between the Peninsula Bay clinic and our nearby Silverdale clinic which is a busy 3 vet clinic with an excellent fun experienced supportive staff.
You will be part of the VHG team. The Veterinary Hospital Group is a privately owned group practice. We value practising a high standard of medicine and advocacy for our patients, developing collaborative and supportive relationships with our clients and the care, growth, and development of our staff. Senior leadership are all vets and vet nurses who also work within the group as clinicians. This means we have a unique understanding of issues within the clinics and profession and do not hesitate to ‘get our hands dirty’ to help.
Within the group there are 30+ vets including those with special interests and advanced training in surgery, imaging, internal medicine, and ophthalmology.

KAIKOHE, FAR NORTH DISTRICT - MIXED New Position

Bay of Islands Veterinary Services

Full Time, Mixed Animal Veterinarian
www.bayvets.co.nz

Due to a change in circumstances for one of senior vets, Bay of Islands Veterinary Services is looking for a full-time, truly mixed animal vet to join our rapidly expanding team in the beautiful, subtropical, Far North of New Zealand.

We strongly encourage a healthy work life balance and our location lends itself well to achieving that. From beautiful beaches, water sports, lots of sheltered boating as well as open ocean access, forest walking and mountain biking, there is something for everyone. Being a tourist destination, we are not short on cafes and restaurants. The region boasts a number of wineries and craft breweries that offer tastings.

Bay of Islands Vets is an independent, private mixed practice with 5 clinics spread across the Bay of Islands, servicing companion animals, farm animals and equine. Companion animals are attended from 3 of our four branch clinics as well as our centralised Kerikeri clinic where we self-refer more complex cases, hospitalised animals, and orthopaedic surgeries. Kerikeri also serves as our afterhours clinic.

Please click here to see photos!

This role is for someone who wants to be a truly mixed vet in a rural service town. Nearly all our farms are smaller family operations, where relationships are valued more than cost benefit analysis. You would be based primarily in our Kaikohe clinic as one of two full time mixed vets. You would be supported to gain NMAC accreditation, In Calf, Worm Wise expertise. We already have two vets involved in the national exotic disease surveillance team. The opportunity exists to swap some small animal days and head to the Kerikeri clinic to advance your skills in companion animal medicine and surgery.

Your farm calls will frequently take you as far as the West Coast to spectacular locations such as the Hokianga and Waimamaku. Dairy forms the bulk of our large animal work with a lesser amount of beef, very few sheep, and some lifestyle blocks. You will be required to triage the occasional horse, but we have vets who will happily take those cases off your hands. The workload is split evenly between production and companion animals, with the two vets taking turn about. The clinic workload is rapidly growing and will likely accommodate a third companion animal only vet in the near future.

Our practice has strong relationships with local animal charities, Bay of Islands Animal Rescue, Coast to Coast Cat Rescue and the SPCA, we all work closely together to improve animal welfare in the region. We are also actively involved and sponsor the newly established Kiwi Coast Kiwi Rehab Unit now operating in the Bay of Islands.

Shared after hours is split between large and companion animals, no more than one weekend in six, with a rostered nurse also available. You would be rostered primarily in the large animal afterhours roster, attending small animal calls mostly in a backup capacity. You will receive 6 hours time in lieu per weekend, plus a generous fee per call out.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable working sole charge, performing routine desex surgeries and consultations in clinic, and happy to head out on farm to perform a variety of duties. This role could suit anyone from a recent grad wanting to gain experience in a truly mixed role, to a more experienced vet wanting to relocate to one of the most spectacular parts of New Zealand.

A generous salary is commensurate with experience. A fully stocked vehicle is supplied. VCNZ registration and NZVA membership is paid along with an allowance to cover relevant CPD.
