Full-time Senior Vet Position

100% Companion Animals | No After Hours

Our ‘Why’:

• We enjoy coming to work in our purpose-built clinic with our positive and supportive team, allowing us to provide a high standard of care for our patients.
• We enjoy working together to create an environment which promotes a great work/life balance.
• We enjoy working to provide a quality service for our clients and the community.

About us:

We have an exciting opportunity for a vet to join our small animal practice with no after hours, in a clinic that is lovely to work at with an actual work/life balance. If you are tired of the city work slog, largies or on call and are looking for a clinic to help grow then this is a fantastic opportunity for you.

Fur Life Vet Yarrawonga operates out of our new clinic on the shores of the Murray River in northern Victoria. Our clinic is growing and we are looking for a senior vet to help us drive the clinic’s growth.

Our beautiful, purpose-built clinic has 5 consult rooms, dedicated surgical theatre, prep area with 2 stations, diagnostic imaging room, dedicated dog and cat wards, dental room + IM3 equipment, laboratory with IDEXX equipment, and is fully equipped with all the expected bells and whistles. 

Our small team prides itself on having a happy and supportive atmosphere in which to practise medicine. Everyone genuinely enjoys coming to work and we have a lovely client base.

Yarrawonga is on the south bank of the Murray River in northern Victoria with Mulwala on the NSW side. It is situated on the iconic Lake Mulwala, therefore, if you enjoy water sports, fishing, river cruising, then this is your inland aquatic paradise!

Thanks to being a tourist destination, there is plenty to keep foodies happy – wineries, lakeside dining and local producers. It is surrounded by small boutique towns so therefore you will never be short of weekend activities. Not to mention it’s close to the ski fields in winter for those who enjoy the snow.  It is a welcoming small community and only a short drive to regional centres such as Albury, Wangaratta and Shepparton.
