Mixed Animal Veterinarian - Peninsula Paradise Awaits
Full-time | Waihi & Whangamata | New Grads Welcome | Fair After-Hours 1:4
Your Next Chapter Starts Here
Picture this: You wake up to ocean views, spend your morning treating a farmer's prize cattle, then finish your afternoon with a golden retriever's routine check-up - all while knowing you won't be called out this weekend because our 1:4 after-hours roster actually respects your time.
Your New Adventure
What makes this role exciting:
- True mixed practice - companion animals, farm calls, and everything in between
- Two great locations - work between our modern, purpose-built Whangamata clinic and our developing Waihi clinic with room to grow
- Fair after-hours system - 1:4 roster ensures a healthy work-life balance
- Properly compensated on-call - after-hours work paid in addition to your base salary
- New grad friendly - we love fresh perspectives and provide the training to back them up

- Interest in mixed practice variety
Nice-to-haves (but we can work with potential):
- Experience in mixed animal practice
- Confidence with large animal work
What we really value:

- People who want to make a difference in rural and coastal communities
Your New Life Awaits
