Full-time Mix Animal Veternarian

Bay of Islands Veterinary Services Full-Time Mixed Veterinarian

Bay of Islands Veterinary Services is seeking a full-time veterinarian to join our diverse and growing team in the stunning Far North of New Zealand. We are an independent, privately-owned mixed practice with four clinics, servicing companion animals, farm animals, and equine clients across the Bay of Islands region.

About the Role:

· Flexible Working Hours: We are happy to accommodate a four-day work week, which many of our veterinarians enjoy.

· Career Growth Opportunities: We encourage career advancement, including support for those interested in practice ownership.

· Work-Life Balance in a Stunning Location: Enjoy the beauty of New Zealand’s subtropical Far North, where beaches, water sports, sheltered boating, open ocean access, forest walking, and mountain biking await. The region is also rich with cafés, restaurants, wineries, and craft breweries.

· Diverse Caseload: Our small animal caseload ranges from routine desexing and vaccinations to more complex orthopaedic cases. You will also have opportunities to manage complex cases at our main clinic and spend days in our branches handling a combination of companion animal and farm calls.

Large Animal Work:

· Dairy work forms the majority of our large animal caseload, with a smaller number of beef, lifestyle block, and very few sheep clients.

· You will have the opportunity to visit some of the most spectacular locations in New Zealand, including Hokianga, Whangaroa, and off-the-beaten-track areas around the Bay of Islands.

· Although you may occasionally triage horses, our team includes vets who can take on those cases if equine work isn’t your preference.

Professional Development:

· You will be supported in gaining NMAC accreditation, as well as expertise in InCalf and WormWise programs.

· We are proud to have two vets involved in New Zealand’s national exotic disease surveillance team.

After-Hours & Support:

· After-hours duties are split between large and companion animals, with no more than one weekend in five.

· For each weekend worked, you will receive 6 hours of time in lieu, plus a generous call-out fee.

What We Offer:

· Generous Salary: Commensurate with your experience.

· Professional Fees Covered: VCNZ registration and NZVA membership are fully paid.

· CPD Allowance: We provide a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) allowance to support your ongoing growth.

This role is ideal for a recent graduate looking to broaden their skills or an experienced veterinarian seeking to work in a stunning, supportive, and diverse environment.
