Senior Veterinarian – Part-Time or Full-Time

📍 Encounter Bay, South Australia (Coastal Location)

Shape your next chapter by the coast.

Kieron Wineberg at GVC – Global Veterinary Careers is proud to be partnering with a thriving small animal clinic in beautiful Encounter Bay, just south of Adelaide, to recruit a Senior Veterinarian ready to take the next step.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative, clinically strong team in a fully equipped hospital (including ultrasound), with genuine scope to grow into a leadership role.


Why This Role Stands Out

Collaborative & High-Performing Team
Work alongside experienced veterinarians and nurses, including a team member with surgical memberships who actively supports professional development.

Flexible Lifestyle
Full-time or part-time options available to suit your personal and professional goals — all while enjoying a stunning coastal setting.

Leadership Pathway
Clear progression towards a Lead Vet position, with structured mentorship and support to develop your leadership capabilities.


The Opportunity

This role suits a veterinarian with solid clinical foundations who is ready for greater influence and responsibility. You’ll have the autonomy to help shape clinical standards and patient care, while being supported in a positive, growth-focused environment.


About You

  • BVSc (or equivalent) recognised in Australia

  • Minimum 3 years’ clinical experience preferred

  • Committed to high standards of patient and client care

  • Collaborative and approachable team player

  • Motivated to grow professionally and step into leadership


What’s On Offer

  • Competitive salary with annual performance reviews

  • Clear pathway to Lead Vet with structured mentorship

  • Unique bonus/equity opportunity (“You’re Pawesome” long-term incentive)

  • Paid Veterinary Board registration, radiation licence & VIN membership

  • Generous CPD allowance + paid study leave

  • Paid parental leave + “Paid Purrental Leave”

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

  • Mental Health First Aid® accredited workplace

  • Novated vehicle leasing options

  • Fitness Passport access

  • Team referral bonuses

  • Visa sponsorship & relocation assistance available

  • Certified “Great Place to Work” employer


If you’re a dedicated veterinarian looking to combine career progression with coastal lifestyle, this could be the role for you.
