Sheep & Beef Veterinarian - Te Kuiti
- Develop a centre of excellence for Sheep & Beef
- Access to breakthrough research, technology and support
- Great work-life balance
VetEnt is one of New Zealand’s largest veterinary groups, and we’re united as one team working together to create a brighter future by enhancing the health of our clients’ animals, land and businesses.
We are seeking an experienced large animal veterinarian who aspires to lead a small, dedicated team of vets and technicians, and alongside our StockCare consultancy experts, create a centre of excellence for Sheep & Beef.
Whilst this role is focused on sheep & beef it would be ideal to also have some experience in deer, dairy and companion animals, as you will be part of a mixed practice. We have a highly loyal client base that strike the perfect balance between the relationship-driven sheep & beef practice of old, and progressive go-getters of the future.
Whilst you can expect some on-call work for emergencies, the roster is shared between our other Waipa clinics, which makes the on-call frequency very desirable.
Working for VetEnt, you’ll find an array of career advancement opportunities including training support, CPD, and involvement in our subsidiary operations, StockCare and PureMilk. You’ll have access to the latest technology in a well-equipped practice and a combined pool of knowledge from our friendly and supportive nationwide network of veterinarians.
Te Kuiti is an incredible place to live and work. We’re centrally located to suit whatever outdoor hobbies you may have, particularly if you enjoy the snow, a bit of hiking, or a spot of fishing. The town in itself is a bustling rural town, with affordable house prices and plenty of opportunity to nab a lifestyle block to dabble in a small farm of your own if you so wish.
If this ticks your boxes, and you meet the conditions of the Veterinary Council of New Zealand, we would love to hear from you! Call Sacha Halpin on 027 2254397 if you wish to discuss the role further or apply today by emailing your CV to careers@vetent.co.nz.

RIVERSDALE, SOUTHLAND - MIXED New Position
Just the place you have been looking for:
Concerns regarding work-life balance, work variety, cost of living, support in the workplace and team culture are common amongst vets looking for a job.
Fortunately, we have the clinic and job that ticks all of these boxes and more!
We are a 12 vet practice working out of two clinics in Northern Southland, the gateway to Fiordland and the Central Lakes. We service a wide variety of species providing a mix of work that, we believe, is one of the best in the country. In any one day we can find ourselves on an iconic sheep station (think Glenaray or Mt Linton), a large deer or Standardbred horse stud, a progressive dairy farm or back in the clinic completing a TPLO surgery on a working dog. We work out of a new purpose-built clinic with all the toys including ultrasound, digital x-ray, in-house blood machines and endoscopy. The clinics are spacious, with plenty of room to swing a cat, yet the biggest room is still the smoko room, because supporting a great team culture over a cup of tea, biscuit and/or a beer is something we believe in.
Please click here to see photos!
We live in a great community with a variety of clubs and sports teams, cheap housing and an outdoor utopia on our doorstep. We are less than 2 hours from an international airport and have a covered stadium nearby bringing in international acts on a regular basis.
If this sounds like you, count your lucky stars that an opportunity has arisen for a new member to join our existing team of vets. We are looking for a team player to join our Riversdale clinic where there is the opportunity to play a significant role within our equine or dairy team. The right candidate will have a minimum of 2-3 years experience and be willing to get stuck into rural mixed practice. We look after our team and remuneration packages will reflect this, including health insurance, income protection and a saving scheme that goes above and beyond the normal Kiwisaver.
Sound too good to be true? Our 2015 & 2016 new grads that have made Riversdale home don’t think so... If you’ve heard enough and want a contract to sign, send us your CV to julia@nsvets.co.nz. If you would like to learn more check out our Facebook page or https://www.nsvets.co.nz/, alternatively give us a call on 03 202 5636.
