About MPI: The Ministry for Primary Industries is helping to seize export opportunities for our primary industries, improve sector productivity, ensure the food we produce is safe, increase sustainable resource use, and protect New Zealand from biological risk.
Veterinarians play a big part in the work MPI does within New Zealand and across the global market, so we're passionate about finding skilled professionals to help us achieve these goals.
MPI is Aotearoa New Zealand's largest employer of veterinarians, with more than 300 vets working for us around the country and overseas.
Our veterinarians provide valuable technical expertise and are recognised as trusted advisers at MPI and in the wider public service.
As a public service veterinarian at MPI, you'll have the opportunity to work on diverse and challenging projects in areas such as Verification Services, Biosecurity, Market Access, and Animal Welfare.
About Verification Services: At Verification Services, our core purpose is to deliver independent, cost-effective, and high-quality verification, certification, inspection, and clearance programs that meet all regulatory requirements.
We're committed to providing a range of food safety and biosecurity verification and certification services to at least 2,000 processing companies across New Zealand, including the meat, seafood, game, and dairy industries.
Export meat is a significant area of focus for MPI Verification Services, accounting for 80% of our activities. Our work encompasses farms, abattoirs, meat and fish packhouses, cold storage facilities, and other specialized premises processing animal products.
As a veterinarian with MPI Verification Services, you'll work on diverse and challenging projects in the food safety and biosecurity sectors, making a real difference to the safety and quality of our agricultural products.
MPI Verification Services is looking for skilled veterinarians to fill a range of roles across New Zealand, from Northland to Southland and everywhere in between. This includes:
Northland
Bay of Plenty
Hawkes Bay
Whanganui / Taranaki
Manawatu
Nelson
Canterbury
Otago
Invercargill
At Verification Services, we offer career paths for veterinary professionals with diverse backgrounds. Our roles cater to individuals from clinical practice, those looking for a return to work/practice after time out, or new graduates wanting to start their careers with us.
At MPI, we believe that the growth and development of our team members is crucial to the success of both our people and the primary sectors we support. That's why we provide comprehensive in-service training aimed at enhancing your technical and leadership skills. You'll receive six to eight weeks of technical training prior to being warranted under the relevant legislation.
We also have ongoing, on-site training, mentoring, and technical support for you in your new role. Here's what some of our people have to say about working with MPI:
Before this role, I had 14 years out of my veterinary career for parenting and thought that maybe veterinary was done for me, but MPI has provided an avenue for getting back to my veterinary career. I love the variety, I love my colleagues; the hours work around family life. It's shift work so you know exactly when you're going to work and can plan your family around those hours.
Benefits of working with MPI: Our Establishment team can offer you a structured working week where you get paid overtime after working 40 hours and unsociable hours compensation, including shift allowance and penal rates if applicable. Work hours are typically Monday to Friday, with some weekend hours during peak seasons. Early starts or late finishes are recognised with penal time payments, as well as shift leave accumulation.
We also provide additional benefits including:
Membership of the NZVA or appropriate alternative
Annual payment for the Annual practicing certificate
Wellness benefit for employees
Reduced premiums for Group Healthcare Schemes
Relocation assistance will be considered for successful applicants
What you'll bring to the role: We are seeking veterinarians who excel at building relationships with people and share our passion for supporting the success of New Zealand's primary industries. As a member of the Verification Services team, you will collaborate with a diverse group of individuals from both within MPI and external businesses across New Zealand.
We value individuals who embody integrity, trust, ethics and values, resilience, adaptability, and openness. To be eligible for these positions, candidates must be registered as a Veterinarian in New Zealand, or be able to obtain registration with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand. Additionally, applicants must hold the right to work in New Zealand or be eligible to obtain it.
Are you ready to make a difference? We are committed to being a good partner under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, which includes working closely with iwi, hapu, whanau, and hapori. We aspire to reflect the diverse communities we serve, so we welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and identities.
What next? If you would like to discuss what a career with Verification Services might look like for you, please get in contact with our Vets Careers Team at ****** to discuss. Otherwise, we would welcome you to submit your CV and a Cover Letter outlining what opportunities and locations you would be interested in considering for your next career move.
