Veterinarian

Salamander Bay Veterinary Clinic \| Full-Time Veterinarian

• 4-day week \| 1 weekend per month
• No after-hours
• Short-term accommodation available for relocating applicants

Imagine finishing your Friday with a swim at the beach, knowing you've spent the week doing meaningful, varied clinical work and that you're not on call this weekend. That's life at Salamander Bay Veterinary Clinic!

About Us:

We are a thriving 4-vet small animal practice nestled in the stunning Port Stephens region – just north of Newcastle and only five minutes from the beach. Our coastal location attracts a loyal, grateful client base who genuinely values their pets and the care we provide. We have a rewarding, varied caseload and a team that actually enjoys coming to work.

We're well-equipped for serious clinical work: ultrasound, endoscopy, orthopaedic equipment, and electrocautery. If you have a passion for surgery, you'll have plenty of room to grow here.

The Role:

We're looking for a full-time Veterinarian to join our permanent team. You'll enjoy a genuine mix of medicine and surgery, backed by a skilled and supportive nursing team, with clear boundaries around your time outside the clinic.

What you’ll bring:

• A Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) or equivalent, recognised in Australia
• At least 2 years of experience (preferred)
• Confidence in soft tissue surgery

What We Offer:

Beyond a lifestyle most vets can only dream of, we back our team with a genuinely strong package.

• ‘You're Pawesome’ – a unique bonus/equity opportunity (long-term incentive)
• Paid Veterinary Board Registration, Radiation Licence, and VIN Membership (pro-rata for part-time)
• Paid Parental Leave and Paid Purrental Leave to welcome a new furry family member
• CPD allowance of $1,500 per year and one week of paid study leave
• Potential visa sponsorship and relocation assistance for overseas candidates
• Access to our VC Learning Academy – online education platform
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for personal wellness support
• Flare HR perks and discounts on everyday expenses including groceries, fuel, entertainment, fashion, and more
• Novated vehicle leasing options
