Dear the Next Member of Team Leroy,
So, you’re a vet ✅. Clinically sharp, big on teamwork, quick with a laugh—and mildly dependent on caffeine. Lucky for you, our receptionist expresses love one flat white at a time.
🩺What’s the gig?
We’re a privately owned, proudly independent clinic—the original vet practice in the area, with 30-ish years under our belt (we’ve lost count, to be honest). We have long-standing clients (and team members), a growing caseload, and a rock-solid reputation. Now, we’re looking for someone new to join us.
Whether you’re a year or two out of uni with wide eyes and boundless enthusiasm, or a seasoned pro who can desex a cat blindfolded (please don’t), we want to chat.
This isn’t just a job—it’s a workplace where you’ll actually want to show up. Our team is genuinely supportive, our clients are loyal (and growing), and our culture strikes the balance between professional excellence and not taking ourselves too seriously.
We’re proud of our tight-knit team who bring a variety of skills and backgrounds to the clinic— there’s always something to learn here. That said, we’re not stuck in our ways. We love hearing new ideas. If you’ve got a better way to do something—we’re all ears.
You’ll be part of a clinic that prioritises people as much as pets. We’ve built a culture on mutual respect, clinical excellence, and humour—we even have a monthly award for moments of sheer ridiculousness (the boss is in the running for the annual trophy every year, so don’t worry, you’ve got stiff competition). It’s the kind of team that actually likes working together (weird, right?)—and always has each other’s backs.
Please click here to see photos!
⚖️ Work-life balance isn’t just a buzzword.
- We’ve recently reduced our opening hours to 9am–7pm to support a healthier work-life balance 💛
- Full-time = four 10-hour days, with a fair mix of morning and evening shifts
- Need flexibility? Let’s talk. We get that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a roster 🫠
- No on-call. No Sundays. No public holidays. Ever
- Work a Saturday? Have a long weekend ✈️
- Work 36 hours per week, get paid for 38 — The chance to breathe (or catch up on those histories you’ve been avoiding)
Support & growth, minus the fluff
- Mentorship? Absolutely.
- Career progression? We’ll back you.
- Want to explore a new special interest (bonus points if it’s birds—we’ll happily handball 😜) - we offer study leave, generous CPD allowance, AVA membership, and regular in-clinic training (yes, there’s always food involved 🤤).
👌The nursing team? Absolutely stellar.
- Skilled, experienced, and actively involved in case management.
- You’ll work in dedicated vet/nurse pairs for continuity, collaboration, and sanity.
- We deliver gold-standard care, backed by all the toys you’d expect—and a few extras.
🌈 We value what you value.
Whether you’re a new grad looking for support, a parent returning to practice who needs flexibility, or an experienced vet craving something different—we’re here for it. We’re open to finding a plan that works for everyone.
❓Who are we looking for?
🦄 We’re not chasing unicorns (we’ve got plenty of those). Just a great vet, who cares.
Ready? Let’s do this.
Email us. Call us. Send a pigeon. Just don’t wait too long—we’re excited to meet you, and we’re already writing your name on a coffee mug.

Do you love the challenge of surgery while enjoying good banter with the nurses?
And are you passionate about building loyal and trusting relationships with your clients?
Then we have the right job for you!
Our proudly independent small animal clinic located in the inner-west of Melbourne was founded in 2005 on the ethos of valuing all pets as members of the family. Originally just a house call service, it has grown to become a fully equipped 4 vet, 10 nurse practice. Due to client demand, the opportunity has become available to expand our veterinary team.
We wanted to create a practice that was as much about the people as it was about the animals. Over the years we have built a lovely and loyal client base who are more than happy to follow our recommendations. They expect and appreciate the elevated level of veterinary services and holistic care that we provide. Our consultations times have been carefully curated to allow sufficient opportunity to discuss diagnostic and care plans.

Self-care is important to us, so we ensure all our staff have the time and energy to enjoy life outside of work hours. There is no after hours, public holiday or on-call duties. There is very limited sole charge work as at least two vets are rostered in the clinic each day. Both our practice owners work full time in the business and are still passionate vets and strong patient advocates. Our diverse team of nurses and receptionists are kind, very experienced and always willing to lend a hand to whoever needs it.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and friendly team player who desires the freedom to pursue their special interests in surgery or dentistry. If you have the passion to exceed client expectations and the drive to produce excellent patient outcomes, then we would love to hear from you.
In return you will be part of a workplace community that promotes employee wellbeing, satisfaction, and retention. Our practice has secure off-street parking, offers generous staff discounts, and is conveniently located close to public transport, great coffee and multicultural cuisine.

The surgery intern’s responsibilities and activities support the efficient and effective management of cases presented to the Surgery Department both as primary referrals and via the emergency service. In this role, the intern works cooperatively with, and under supervision of the surgical specialists, registrar and resident. This affords a considerable opportunity for clinical and professional development with exposure to a wide range of surgical cases and is intended to foster the intern’s interest in further learning and facilitate their progression to advanced clinical training in the discipline.

Specifically, the regular duties of the surgery intern include:

- Preparation of surgical reports relating to procedures that the intern has been involved in as the assistant surge
- Thorough examination, assessment and care of any hospitalised surgery patients (including cooperation with the surgery nurse in performing any ancillary tasks).
- Preparation of daily inpatient records for hospitalised surgery patients
- Timely and comprehensive reporting to the specialists on the condition of their inpatients.
- Communication with clients and referring veterinarians on behalf of the surgeons when requested.
- The surgical intern is not required to contribute to the on-call roster although there is the potential for the intern to participate in rostered in-patient care on Saturday mornings.
- Participation in, and contribution to, weekly surgery rounds/journal club sessions
Qualifications
- Candidates must be eligible for veterinary registration in Victoria and have excellent communication skills and work ethic, as well as a strong knowledge base on which to build
- Clinical experience is desirable but not essential
- This position is suited to a highly motivated vet seeking to further their skills and knowledge in Small Animal Surgery
- Team coherence is extremely important to us and above all, we value someone who is a team player and an active learner
Additional Information
What We Offer
- Mentorship and Guidance: Our team of skilled surgeons, vets and nurses will provide mentorship and guidance throughout your internship, ensuring your professional development and continued success. Interns interested in pursuing specialisation will be encouraged to seek residency training following the completion of the internship, and will be assisted in such training opportunities, whether it be internally or externally.
- Diverse Case Load: Our hospital sees a wide variety of cases from the Emergency department as well as referrals from referring practices all over Victoria, NSW and Tasmania, offering you exposure to complex surgical procedures.

TARNEIT, CITY OF WYNDHAM, WESTERN MELBOURNE - SMALL ANIMAL New Position
Central Veterinary Clinic & Hospital, in Tarneit, Western Melbourne (near Werribee vet school), is a new independent clinic that first opened its doors on the 6th Oct 2023. Starting as a mobile business before that, we have a very busy and steady stream of clients. We operate as a regular clinic Monday to Friday and operate as an emergency clinic on Saturdays and Sundays. This means we see lots of interesting and varied cases. This includes a cat bitten by a snake just yesterday - late May of all times - brought back to normal after having a temperature below readable!
Our main vet has been practicing in small animal medicine for over 16 years. Our ethos is: excellence, empathy, and compassion. We believe in working up cases thoroughly to get the correct diagnosis and treatment from the start. This requires all the tools: xrays, ultrasound, full blood suite, including coagulation tests, blood matching, microscopy, tonometry, capnograph, blood pressure, multiple GA machines, oxygen cages, dental xray, and lots of varied medications... We have a lot.
We enjoy working up complex cases as well as doing all kinds of surgery. We've done your foreign bodies, cystotomies, pyometras, anal gland removal, cherry eye surgery, fracture plate repair, patella and cruciate surgeries, soft palate surgeries. We have all the tools and equipment.
Our nurses are highly dedicated and exceptional. I love our team and hope you will too! They make my life so much easier.
We are looking for someone who fits in well with the team. We want somebody with empathy, who treats animals and owners with respect and who sees themselves as part of a larger clinic team, to make everyone's working lives pleasant and rewarding, whilst helping owners and their animals through the various stages of life.
The position available is flexible, as in we are after the correct fit. Normal vet hours are 9 am until 6 or 8 pm, Monday to Friday, and 11 am until 10 pm Saturday and Sunday. Ideally, we are looking for midweek and weekend coverage. There can be flexibility with days and times to suit the right candidate. We will consider full-time, part-time, and casual applications.
This will necessarily be sole charge. The weekday shift involves morning and afternoon consults with surgery scheduled during the middle of the day. So, the candidate should be comfortable with sole charge consulting and surgery. Although I am available very frequently (via Telegram) for input if required. The weekend shifts involve some standard consults initially but then only emergencies for the rest of the day. This can involve anything - lots of blocked cats, stitch-ups, animals in heart failure, HGE, foreign bodies, caesarean sections etc. We do such emergency surgeries on weekends where necessary.
If you are interested, please send a cover letter and Cv to meredithcrowhurst@gmail.com.
The rate offered will depend on experience and ability, but we also hope that it will be high enough to make you feel appreciated and happy.

HAMPTON PARK, SOUTH EAST MELBOURNE - SMALL ANIMAL
Hi, I’m Dr Cameron and I own Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital.
Ever been stumped trying to answer a question…?
Wracking your brain but coming up with nothing…?
For 28 years I have been solving medical problems for pets on a daily basis but this one question was so difficult to answer.
What was the question that stumped a Vet with 28 years experience…?
“Why should someone work with Dr Cameron and the team at Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital?”
Now I wasn’t stumped because it’s such a terrible place to work but because it was easy to answer the obvious things…
The team…
The clients…
The facilities…
But those things are what I feel every other practice owner seems to say.
What stumped me was being able to truly articulate what makes us unique (we Vets are traditionally very modest!).
So, just like when I get stumped by the answer to a medical puzzle I turned to colleagues, clients and specialists for some insight.
Here is what they said…
“Integrity and honesty underpins all their relationships.”
We pride ourselves on doing the right things the right way for the pets, their owners and those who are part of my team
“Fairness.”
Everyone client and team member is treated equally and respectfully.
“Compassion.”
Apparently there hasn’t been a day I haven’t gone home talking about the clients and pets that came through the consult room or surgery.
Caring is a verb not an adjective.
“Ambition.”
I have always set myself lofty goals and targets and I love to take others along for the ride and help them to do the same.
“Commitment.”
Even after 28 years I still love to continue to tweak and make improvements to my skills and how we do what we do.
What might you take from this..?
If you join the team I go to bat for you. You will be well supported to achieve the goals you have for yourself and evolve into the best Veterinarian you can be.
If you join the team your voice will count. We are a small but tight knit group where everyone contributes valuably to delivering excellent service.
If you join the team you will be treated well. If there is one thing I have learnt it is to value ourselves as professionals and the skills and service we deliver.
Of course, if you join the team there is the usual stuff I mentioned earlier too…
Not forgetting excellent remuneration based on experience.
If joining a team that is led with these guiding principles as their north star sounds attractive then we should talk.
You will be perfect if…
- You have a few years’ experience, so you know your way around a consult room…
- You take pride in doing your very best for yourself, the pet and their owner…
- You are a people person…
- You enjoy the cut and thrust of a GP small animal clinic.
I am really looking for someone who is committed to cementing their career with us.
The good news is that you will be able to do this AND work part time. It is a role suited to you if you are keen for 20 to 25 hours per week.
We are pretty flexible with how this works although it requires a regular Saturday morning shift.
Unlike most other jobs going I’m not going to ask for a CV or a cover letter (well not right away…).
If you are keen to learn more let’s have a no strings attached chat and explore what the future might look like. If it’s something worth exploring further I am sure we will both know it!
Send me an email at cameron@hamptonparkvets.com.au or a text on 0493 248 187 and we can go from there.
