Expressions of interest
Veterinarian
RSPCA ACT is looking at expanding its Vet Clinic services and opening hours. We are seeking expressions of interest from veterinarians interested in locum, part-time or full-time work. The RSPCA ACT clinic is a unique clinic, offering support to more than 8,500 shelter animals (domestic animals and native wildlife) annually as well as supporting Canberra's needy with pet care.
Our focus is firmly on the welfare of the animal and the clinic would offer a new graduate or an experienced vet an ideal mix of diagnostic, clinical and practical opportunities. The clinic is well equipped with the latest equipment and is supported by an experienced senior vet and three vet nurses.
The salary will be above award expectations as we are willing to offer that little bit extra for the right person. The Clinic is currently open Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 5.00pm. There is very little if any after hours work.
So if you want to make a difference to animals in need as well as helping their owners this is the job for you.
Please email dhartley@rspca-act.org.au if you would like further information.
