PORT LINCOLN, EYRE PENINSULA - SMALL ANIMAL

Join our team in the stunning coastal area at Port Lincoln, South Australia!

About us:

Lincoln Veterinary Centre in South Australia are currently seeking a Veterinarian who is highly motivated and looking for an exciting diverse clinical environment.

Why would you want to work in a busy city practice when you can work in a relaxed regional environment, where it only takes you five minutes to get to work?

Imagine working in a rural area where you don’t have to do any large animals and you can just focus on providing a high level of service to the local pets from a very well-equipped clinic.

The clinic is located in Ravendale House, a heritage listed building originally built to house Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s Colonial Officers. Externally the building is stunning and original, but inside there has been extensive renovations, including an extension, to accommodate a modern architecturally design vet clinic.

Within the practice there is a highly skilled and dedicated team passionate about educating our clients to ensure an exemplary standard of health and well- being for their pets.

The clinic has an interesting case load, and because we are a 7-hour drive to a referral practice many cases will stay in house.

To add interest and a service to the surrounding regional areas we conduct remote clinics, the furthest being 4 hours drive away.

The role:

What would you do if you knocked off work at 5.30pm? The options might include heading out for a fish or going for a walk in the National Park that is right at your doorstep. That’s right the clinic is open between civilised hours, 8am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturday. Yes, we do provide an afterhours service, but with the right quota of vets that would be only one weekend in 4 or 5. As afterhours can be stressful on your own, we have a nurse also rostered on call, so you never have to worry about who is going to help. By the way, the after-hours compensation is among the most generous you'll find, which definitely helps make the extra hours more manageable.

As you may have guessed we are talking about a rural coastal area, that includes some of the best facilities around, one of which is an airport that is serviced by both Qantas and Rex.

We would love to help you develop your career while still having enough down time to enjoy what life has to offer.

What we can offer:

What you can offer us:

Sounds great! How do I apply?

Whether you are an experienced vet, a recent graduate or somewhere in between, if you think you might be interested in breathing in some of the freshest air anywhere in the universe, drop us a line and let’s chat.

The successful candidates ideally have at least 12 month’s experience, but new graduates with an interest in exotics are encouraged to apply. The candidate will have the intent to achieve Memberships in ANZCVS in the coming years and will be mentored. Prior experience with exotics is preferred but not critical. However, demonstration of a passion to work with these species is a must and to undertake ongoing education, including journal rounds. Good client communication and time management is essential in this role as the clinic is busy. Renumeration begins at award rates and is commensurate with experience with exotic pets. CPD allowance is provided. There is no after-hours work and the weekend roster is shared.

Adelaide is an affordable city to live in with beaches, wineries and the bush close by, voted the 10th most liveable city in the world! It has active sporting communities, a vibrant arts program and is a foodie’s heaven.
