Vet Technician - Fixed Term

We have Vet Technician opportunities available at our Winton and Gore clinics from early April. When applying, please include whether Winton or Gore would be your preferred clinic. This is a fixed-term role from early April to mid June 2026.

We are searching for hard-working, enthusiastic, and animal-loving individuals to come join our Vet Technician team. You will preferably have prior experience as a Vet Technician, working towards your Rural Animal Technician qualification, or already be working in the dairy industry. A full driver's licence is essential for these roles.

Being a Vet Technician, you would roll up your sleeves and assist with teat-seal and dry cow. This is a critical support role for our vets with a focus on exceptional animal care, client service and support.

If you are a person who:
• Is hard-working, a problem solver and people-oriented
• Enjoys a laugh and is a team player

• Can deal with difficult situations with empathy and resilience
• Has great attention to detail, effective organisational skills, and time management
• Can pick up new tasks and skills quickly
• Is passionate and has experience in the rural sector
