What makes this clinic special

This is a place where teamwork actually means something.

Complex cases are tackled together, not just by vets, but across the whole clinic. Whether it’s managing chronic conditions or supporting tricky cases, everyone has a voice and contributes.

You’ll also get exposure to something a bit different, exotics. From rabbits and guinea pigs to birds and small mammals, it’s a great opportunity to build skills beyond standard GP work.

And when it comes to client care? The team goes all in. From emergency support through to follow-up calls that genuinely make a difference,  it’s the kind of care that keeps clients coming back.

You’ll be doing a bit of everything:

• Assisting in consults and surgery

• Client communication and support

• Certificate IV qualified with 2+ years’ experience
• Confident, capable, and happy to jump in where needed
• Calm, organised, and able to multitask
• Great with both animals and people
• Reliable, accountable, and a true team player
• Someone who enjoys contributing and being part of the bigger picture
