EXPERIENCED PT VETERINARIAN

SMALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL

JOONDALUP, PERTH, WA

We are looking for an experienced vet to join our 5-vet small animal hospital in Perth, Western Australia.

Lakeside Vet Centre is situated in Joondalup, 20 minutes north of the CBD. We have a fun and casual staff culture and have created client trust via thorough communication and honesty which allows full workups as needed, which is helped by a high pet insurance uptake.

We're big on servicing our clients and have moved to extended 20 minute consults and 30 minute euthanasias to give our clients (and staff) the time they deserve. We have a wonderful clientele, with a high majority being of UK and South African heritage.

We have a social staff culture and encourage out of work and family interests, with our rosters set accordingly. Our staff enjoy regular team bonding events outside of work and have included Escape Rooms, basketball games and after work drinks/meals.

We are well equipped with comfortable RC ducted A/C, Agfa DR xray with Zoomax dashboard, Mindray Vetus E7 ultrasound, wireless video otoscope, Tonopen XL, diathermy & smoke evacuator, Ligasure VSD, active scavenge systems, Abaxis VS2, Zoetis Opticell CBC, Vcheck 200 and Qlabs Coag blood machines, Vetscan UA analyser and a central oxygen generator. We use Open VPMS software with Vetcheck integration.

Accessory staff have dedicated roles so you'll be supported by a team of receptionists as well as surgical nurses who all only focus on a single role meaning higher performance, less mistakes and more accountability.

Our case load is large and varied which means you'll get to see a variety of complex medical cases which you are encouraged to work up and manage in house. We offer a comprehensive in house surgical list including TPLO and MPL correction, gastropexy, vulvoplasty, anal sacculectomy and ophthalmic procedures.

The position can be predominantly consulting though willingness to take on surgery shifts would be beneficial to your application. The role can be between 23-29hrs/week though a FT position would be considered. We always have at least 2 vets on at one time.

Salary will be determined by your skill level, ability to blend with the staff & ability to generate income. An indicative guide would be from $95K - $142.5K pa + super + CE allowance.

Given how many vets we have on the team, we offer flexibility with your roster, so if you need a day off here and there for personal reasons, it's generally not an issue.

Our well controlled scheduling allows us to run a calm and time considered clinic allowing you to maximise the effect of your consults and minimise stress.

If you're looking for an opportunity to be part of a comfortable and happy vet hospital in Perth where you can showcase your skills, drop me a line and I'd be happy to meet you and show you around.

Available from 27th October 2025.

Interstate applications welcome.
