Organisation/clinic: VetSouth Equine
Location: Invercargill
Position type: Equine Surgeon Veterinarian
VetSouth Equine, part of an 8 clinic veterinary group based in Southland, New Zealand, is looking for a qualified equine surgeon to join our equine team as our current surgeon nears retirement.
We operate from a purpose-built equine hospital facility on the edge of Invercargill in southern New Zealand. Our client population is approximately 40% standardbred racehorses, 5% thoroughbred racehorses and the remaining 55% sport and pleasure horses. The surgical caseload is currently light with approximately 50-65 standing and table surgeries per annum. There is growth potential in our horse population.
The applicant would split surgical duties with pre-purchase examinations, lameness work ups and other specialised procedures/examinations as well as ambulatory work.
The equine clinic is situated on 1.5 Ha of land on the edge of the Invercargill racecourse. We operate out of a recently developed barn with 7 boxes along with adjacent paddocking. There are 3 separate day boxes and two treatment rooms with stocks in addition to the surgical suite. The site is shared with a recently renovated small animal clinic.
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 – 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 renumeration package is available with a generous CPD allowance, NZVA membership, VCNZ registration costs covered by the practice and relocation and visa assistance if required.
We are very motivated to find someone who is the right fit for our practice - for a more detailed job description and to discuss further, please contact ****** or apply online here.
