Our team consists of five equine veterinarians, with locum veterinarians often employed over the summer period. The team is supported by a team of three to four veterinary technicians. You would take part in a shared on-call roster. We take pride in being part of our local equine community and often sponsor equestrian events, give seminars, and speak at pony clubs and racing cadet trainings.
A competitive remuneration package is available with a generous CPD allowance, NZVA membership, VCNZ registration costs covered by the practice, and relocation and visa assistance if required.
