Hello, I’m Doctor Katie, and I head the team at Callide Valley Vets.
I grew up locally on a cattle farm. Country life and I are like peas and carrots. When all the other kids were playing netball or football, I was out riding my horse. My career and trajectory in the industry stems from childhood, where I spent many a time peeking wide-eyed over the rails in awe when our vet came to visit. I was fascinated by what he could do, to me he was a miracle man (and 6 year old me was right, he really was).
We are searching for a new veterinarian to join our country practice – we welcome applicants that are either a mixed or small animal veterinarian:
If you love mixed practice or just want to focus on small animals, either would be perfect for you if:
- You thrive in a job that provides variety: an even spread of consulting, medicine and surgery work within the clinic, and the added bonus of cattle and horse work if that’s your thing?
- Like to be paid an amazing salary?
- Crave an experience where you are truly experiencing a work/life balance – our business hours are 8am – 5pm Monday to Friday, 8:30 – 11:30am on Saturdays (1 in 3 rota).
- Desire a country lifestyle, but one where it’s only an hour to the beach and the airport?
- You enjoy clients that enable you to work up cases where financial constraints are uncommon?
- Have a thirst for knowledge and continuing education?
Ask yourself – what is holding you back from something better?
Here’s what we think makes this job so exciting:
- 4 ½ day work week
- 5 weeks annual leave
- Excellent salary
- Allocated CPD budget
The team can provide references upon request, so don’t take my word for it, ask them for yourself!
Sounds like this could be for you? Then read on…
This opportunity is for someone who doesn’t necessarily have to have an abundance of industry experience, but rather someone who has a passion for being a veterinarian and embraces a rural lifestyle.
Here is a chance to join a practice where you are able to undertake 50/50 large and small animal (in the case of a mixed veterinarian), or a broad spread of in clinic work for a small animal veterinarian. Our team is cohesive, well trained and has a ‘can do’ attitude. The potential to upskill and give anything a go will be limited only by your imagination.
On a personal note, I didn’t realise at the time I first purchased the clinic, but looking back now I see that I had clear motives:
- Lead a team that provides a high quality and well rounded service to the local community
- Create a workplace that staff truly enjoy, where they want to come to work every day
- Compensate staff generously
- Work life balance is essential
If you reach out to have a chat know that our conversation will be kept completely confidential.
Call us. It takes 2 minutes out of your day and it could just turn out to be the best thing you have ever done.
