Job Description

VetPartners in Kwinana Town Centre, WA, AU.

n

Full time on site position offers great opportunities for career growth.

n

Lead Veterinarian | Kwinana Veterinary Hospital

n

Picture starting your morning in a hospital where you know every member of the team, your ideas are genuinely heard, and you have the opportunity to shape what comes next.

n

At Kwinana Veterinary Hospital, we're entering an exciting stage of growth - and we're looking for a Lead Veterinarian who wants to help guide the journey.

n

You'll initially work alongside one other permanent veterinarian, with recruitment underway to grow the team around you.

n

This is an opportunity to create something meaningful: helping welcome new team members, influencing how the hospital operates and building the supportive, collaborative culture you'd want to work within yourself.

n

What your week could look like

n

Two days each week will be dedicated to surgery, giving you regular time in theatre to maintain and develop your surgical skills.

n

The remainder of your week will include consulting, working through varied cases and supporting the clinical development of the team.

n

You'll also participate in a 1-in-3 weekend roster - but importantly, these hours are included within your full-time hours, rather than being added on top.

n

We want leadership to be rewarding and sustainable, with space for a life outside the hospital too.

n

As our Lead Veterinarian, you'll have the opportunity to:

n

n
- Provide clinical leadership and support to a growing team
n




- Help shape the hospital's clinical standards, workflows and culture
n
- Mentor veterinarians and nurses with warmth and approachability
n
- Enjoy two dedicated surgery days each week
n
- Remain hands‐on with consulting, surgery and patient care
n
- Work closely with the Practice Manager to guide the hospital's continued growth
n
- Be part of the recruitment and development of the future veterinary team
n

n

Who we're looking for

n

You don't need to be the loudest person in the room to be a great leader.

n

You might already be working as a Lead Veterinarian, or you may be an experienced veterinarian ready to take the next step.

n

What matters most is that you're someone others feel comfortable turning to - someone who enjoys sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues and helping a team succeed together.

n

You'll bring:

n

n
- Registration, or eligibility for registration, with the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Western Australia
n
- Solid general practice consulting and surgical skills
n
- A collaborative and supportive leadership style
n
- A genuine interest in mentoring and developing others
n
- The confidence to make clinical decisions and help guide hospital standards
n




- Excitement about joining a hospital during a period of growth
n

n

Benefits designed around you

n

We know the right leadership role looks different for everyone, which is why we're committed to working with you to make this opportunity genuinely fit your life, goals and interests.

n

You'll have the flexibility to help build your own roster, alongside benefits including:

n

n
- $2,000 annual CPD allowance
n
- One week of paid study leave each year
n
- Complimentary CPD workshops and courses through our very own Veterinary Training Centre
n
- Flexibility to shape a roster that works for you
n
- Opportunities to connect and work with experienced veterinarians across the wider VetPartners network
n

n

You'll have a community of experienced colleagues to learn from, bounce ideas off and call upon for support - while still having the autonomy to shape the team and hospital in your own way.

n

Whether you're looking to develop your leadership capabilities, grow a particular clinical interest or learn alongside vets with different areas of expertise, we'll work with you to create a role where you can continue growing too.

n

This is your opportunity to shape what comes next.

n

Some leadership roles ask you to step into something already built. This one gives you the chance to help build it.

n

If you've been waiting for an opportunity where your voice, experience and leadership can make a visible difference, we'd love to introduce you to Kwinana Veterinary Hospital.
