Mixed Vet Wanted.
New Plymouth. New Zealand. Starting $100k - $140k
Our client is looking for a mixed animal veterinarian with at least two years' experience who wants more than just another job. They want someone who enjoys great medicine and values teamwork.
They’re based in beautiful Taranaki, where the lifestyle is every bit as good as the scenery. One minute you're treating dairy cows, the next you're walking the Coastal Walkway with a coffee in hand and Mount Taranaki in the background.
Base salary from around $100,000+ NZD, with higher packages for experienced vets.
Overtime paid as additional hours or time off in lieu.
Flexible options including a 4-day week or 9-day fortnight.
Mixed animal caseload focused on dairy farms, lifestyle blocks and companion animals.
Shared after-hours rota with support from another vet. No being left stranded.
Health insurance, income protection, professional memberships and your birthday off.
CPD support, training opportunities and genuine career development.
Temporary accommodation may be available, just a short walk from the clinic and the beach.
You're confident with mixed practice, enjoy building relationships with clients, and understand that veterinary medicine is a team sport. You communicate well, enjoy a laugh when the opportunity arises, and care about delivering excellent outcomes for animals and their owners.
Surf before work. Hike after work. Explore native bush, rivers, beaches, and mountain trails on your days off. New Plymouth offers the perfect balance of professional opportunity and personal freedom, with all the amenities you need and none of the big-city chaos.
