RSPCA (ACT) Inc.
Veterinarian (new or recent graduate) – Full-time
It takes a special person to be a Shelter veterinarian! You must enjoy surgeries (you’ll have plenty), working with lots and lots of animals (as we see almost 4000 animals a year) and have a passion for helping the abandoned, injured, neglected or unwanted animals in our community.
A position exists in our veterinary clinic in the beautiful area of Weston Creek, Canberra. We are looking for a new or recent graduate to fill this full-time position in a challenging role that is variety filled. You will be handling all domestic animals as well as providing treatment for some of our local injured and orphaned wildlife. We need you to like being kept busy, willing to learn and love being part of a team. You will be required to work a 38 hour week and expected to be on-call Sundays and public holidays on a rotating roster with our other veterinarians.
The staff at the RSPCA vet clinic are happy and fun to work with and have a great team dynamic. Our senior veterinarian is experienced in working with new and recent graduates and enjoys actively mentoring and training team members. She also has membership in ECC and can guide you through those difficult medical and trauma cases we can see.
The vet clinic is well equipped with the latest monitoring equipment, digital x-ray, ultrasound, IM3 dental system and pathology.
Although we have the extremes of temperature here in Canberra, it is a wonderful place to live and you are literally only two hours away from the coast or the snow and three hours from Sydney. Canberra was also named Lonely Planet's third best city in the world to visit in 2018!
We will provide you with the training and support you need to become a well-rounded experienced veterinarian. We also are open to supporting the development of special interests such as dentistry, feline medicine and behaviour. RSPCA ACT also offers a number of employee benefits.
