With an enthusiastic and supportive team of seven other vets, we have the flexibility to adjust the role for the right person!
- Part time (2-3 days per week)
- Mixed animal, or small animal only
- On-call and weekends optional
Maleny Veterinary Services is a family-owned mixed practice located in the magnificent hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. We are spoilt with lovely clients, gorgeous countryside and a great proximity to both Brisbane and the beaches of the Sunshine Coast.
We are an independent, well-established and highly respected practice with clients comprised of companion animals (80%) plus a variety of large animal work including cattle, alpacas, pigs, sheep and horses.
Our team is a friendly bunch of 20ish staff members including seven other vets, ten super-nurses and an awesome support crew. Our practice philosophy is one of providing outstanding, old-fashioned service coupled with the pursuit of excellence in what we do. We look after each other, knowing that without a strong team, we can’t do our job well.
With one of our senior vets heading off on new adventures after 12 wonderful years with the team, we are seeking an experienced (3+ years working) veterinarian to jump on in. Is it you?! The right person is a friendly, qualified veterinary surgeon who can help service our caseload (mixed or smallies only) and is also happy to collaborate with our other three senior vets in a bit of mentoring for our four talented junior vets including one new grad.
The remuneration package and benefits are negotiable, dependent on experience and how you want to structure the role. As a guide, our other full time vets receive a competitive base salary plus super, on-call and laundry allowances, after-hours payments, annual bonuses, plus a continuing education allowance. The annual holiday allowance is four weeks, with an additional week of paid study leave per year after your first year of employment with us.
The work environment is open, friendly and supportive and veterinarians are encouraged to discuss cases with each other whenever possible. We strive to practise the highest quality medicine and surgery and there is ample scope for veterinarians to develop their skills and special interests.
Equipment includes dental machines, ultrasound, in-house IDEXX lab, Vetscan Imagyst, tonometer, etc. The relative proximity to Sunshine Coast also allows referral to specialist centres when required.
We’re a particularly good-humoured, tenacious bunch and there are days that we forget that what we’re doing is supposed to be ‘work’. But don’t just take our word for it – we encourage applicants to speak to the vets currently working here to discuss their experiences!
The best team doing the best job!
