Veterinarian

South-East Melbourne | ASAV Hospital of Excellence | Independent Practice

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced veterinarian to join a highly respected and long-established small animal practice in Melbourne's south-east.

This independently owned, ASAV-accredited Hospital of Excellence has been serving the local community for more than 30 years and has built an outstanding reputation for providing exceptional patient care, fostering long-term client relationships, and creating a genuinely supportive workplace culture.

The practice is seeking a veterinarian with a minimum of 2-3 years' experience who is looking for more than just another job. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team where professional development, clinical excellence, work-life balance, and workplace enjoyment are all equally valued.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

The successful candidate will be joining a close-knit and experienced team that prides itself on supporting one another, sharing knowledge, and continually improving clinical standards.

The clinic enjoys a loyal and growing client base, providing an interesting and varied caseload that allows veterinarians to practise quality medicine while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Team members are encouraged to contribute ideas, develop special interests, and actively participate in shaping the future direction of the practice.

Work-Life Balance That Actually Exists

✔ Full-time roster of four 10-hour days per week

✔ Flexible working arrangements considered for the right candidate

✔ No on-call requirements

✔ No Sunday work

✔ No public holiday shifts

✔ Regular long weekends through a fair rotating roster

✔ Work 36 hours per week while being paid for 38 hours

The practice understands that life exists outside of work and strives to create sustainable rosters that support both professional fulfilment and personal wellbeing.

Support, Mentorship & Career Growth

Whether the successful candidate is looking to strengthen their clinical skills, explore a particular area of interest, or work towards long-term career goals, the practice is committed to supporting professional development.

Benefits include:

✔ Generous CPD allowance

✔ Study leave

✔ AVA membership support

✔ Regular in-house training and clinical development

✔ Mentorship from experienced veterinarians

✔ Encouragement to pursue special interests and advanced training

Exceptional Nursing Support

One of the clinic's greatest strengths is its highly skilled and experienced nursing team.

Veterinarians work closely with dedicated nurses who are actively involved in patient care and case management, allowing vets to focus on delivering high-quality medicine and surgery.

The clinic also benefits from an outstanding client care team that ensures veterinarians can focus on patient outcomes while maintaining exceptional client service.

Facilities & Equipment

The practice is equipped with modern diagnostic and surgical equipment, enabling the team to provide a high standard of care across a broad range of medical and surgical cases.

Combined with experienced support staff and excellent systems, veterinarians are provided with the resources needed to practise confidently and efficiently.

About the Ideal Candidate

The successful applicant will:

• Have a minimum of 2-3 years' experience in small animal practice

• Hold a BVSc (or equivalent) and be eligible for veterinary registration in Victoria

• Be committed to delivering high-quality patient care

• Enjoy working collaboratively within a supportive team environment

• Possess excellent communication and client relationship skills

• Demonstrate a willingness to learn and continue developing professionally

• Bring a positive attitude and contribute to the clinic's friendly culture

Join a Practice Where People Stay

This is an outstanding opportunity for a veterinarian seeking a long-term clinic home within an independent practice that genuinely values its people.

With a supportive team, loyal clients, excellent facilities, flexible working arrangements, and a strong focus on wellbeing, this position offers the chance to build a rewarding and sustainable veterinary career.
