You have always been an adventurous vet and the thought of moving overseas excites you.

Circumstances change, the industry is changing and you're thinking this isn’t what I signed up for.

The outdoor lifestyle, the mountains, the beaches, the long blue-sky days, and their ‘happy-go-lucky’ attitude to life has had you dreaming about moving to Australia for a long time.

With those dark night’s drawing in and the Australian summer just starting you are thinking why not?

What if we knew of a modern large independent hospital where vets are free to work on their own cases? A like-minded team that shares best practices, pulls together where needed, and encourages collaboration for the best outcomes.

Luckily, we do and this one is hiring.

This hospital and referral centre has been delivering 24/7 emergency care for pets in the Newcastle and Hunter region since 2004 and is hiring for growth. With over 110 qualified staff, their purpose-built facility provides holistic medical care to more than 10,000 pets every year.

They are also in the process of building a brand-new state-of-the-art facility, even better offering more facilities than their current hospital.

Everyone pulls together when there’s work here, and relaxes when it’s time. A strong team that wants their best for patient and practice. That’s the beauty of being independent, they are not in the crosshairs of corporate life, no one telling them what to do from afar, and no pointless targets - the job is tough enough without adding additional stress.

With a loyal client base and outstanding reputation ( check out their 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews on Google ) it sees them care and often work on interesting challenging and diverse cases.

Professional development is a priority and something they are unwilling to compromise on. Their HR learning and development team provides internal continued education opportunities as well as support to seek external opportunities. Anything that interests you they will help with the relevant support. They’re interested in improving all their vets and investing in them. Because it’s mutually beneficial.

So, what’s in it for you?

With such a responsible role they ought to have a tempting offer to match and they don’t disappoint.

Salary between £128k and £155k, accommodation provided initially, relocation allowance, state of the art equipment, 4 weeks holiday, 1 week study leave, vet registration fees paid, staff discounts, stock and profit share plan plus an Employee Assistant Program.

They have a sensible flexible roster here too. You need to take care of yourself first. So, you’re rested, refreshed, at the best of your abilities when it is time to help.

Based in Newcastle there is more than enough to keep you entertained. With breweries, distilleries, and vineyards, some of Australia's best surfing beaches, National Parks everywhere, great Aussie bars, restaurants, and with the best city in the world just two hours away what’s not to like?

So, what’s next?
