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 responsible 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.
