About us
The Veterinary Hospital Group is a privately owned group practice. We value practising a high standard of medicine and advocacy for our patients, developing collaborative and supportive relationships with our clients and the care, growth, and development of our staff. Senior leadership are all vets and vet nurses who also work within the group as clinicians. This means we have a unique understanding of issues within the clinics and profession and do not hesitate to ‘get our hands dirty’ to help.
Within the group, there are 30+ vets, including those with special interests and advanced training in surgery, imaging, internal medicine, and ophthalmology. There is a generous baseline CPD allowance, frequent group CPD, and the potential to enter our “advanced practitioner pathway”, where additional funding and time off to study can be provided.
The team at Pen Bay are always full of smiles! You feel like they’re really glad to see you and you just have to look at their reviews to know their clients feel the same way!
About this role
We recognise that work-life balance and integration look different for everyone. This role could be full-time (over 4 or 5 days) or part-time, depending on what you are looking for. There is flexibility with days worked and shift times to suit your lifestyle and family commitments.
This role could be completely based at our Peninsula Bay clinic, which is a 1-2 vet practice with a very manageable workload, excellent nurse support and loyal and motivated clients or, if you prefer, a combination of relaxed and more fast-paced work, shifts could be split between the Peninsula Bay clinic and our nearby Silverdale clinic which is a busy 3 vet clinic with an excellent fun experienced supportive staff.
Weekend work is 1:4, with time off in lieu after a weekend is worked. No on-call work is required.
About you
There is some sole charge required in this role; therefore, we are after someone with some experience who will be comfortable working in sole charge (with excellent nursing support) at times.
We value a team-based approach with positive staff keen to grow and develop their knowledge and skills—if you have the right attitude, we are keen to help you grow the rest!
Our location
Our clinic sits on the Whangaparaoa peninsula just above ‘Red Beach” The peninsula is in the northern North Island, close to the base of the North Auckland Peninsula. The Māori language name Whangaparāoa means “Bay of Whales”, and pods of orca and dolphin are regularly spotted in the waters off the peninsula. Our clinic’s location sits just above. The drive to work looks out over the stunning Hauraki Gulf, and we are close enough to walk on the beach at lunchtime!
Our offer
Your package will include a generous salary commensurate with experience and expertise. Excellent CPD allowance for external CPD in conjunction with a strong and active internal CPD and well-being program. For keen vets wanting to extend their knowledge and skills, there is the potential to enter our ‘Advanced Practitioner Pathway’, where additional funding and time off for study are available. NZ Vet Council and NZVA registration is included.
