Veterinarian - Hunter Veterinary Hospital Full Time Permanent

Veterinarian | RSPCA NSW Hunter Veterinary Hospital

At RSPCA NSW Hunter Veterinary Hospital, you'll have the opportunity to practice high-quality veterinary medicine in a close-knit team, while helping improve the lives of animals and the people who care for them.

We're looking for a compassionate and capable veterinarian to join our experienced and supportive team. Whether you're seeking a full-time role or looking for flexibility with part-time hours, we'd love to hear from you. Why join us?

At Hunter Veterinary Hospital, no two days are the same. You'll enjoy the variety of private practice medicine and surgery, while also contributing to the broader animal welfare mission of Australia's most recognised animal welfare organisation.

Our caseload is diverse, our team is collaborative, and you'll have access to support from a strong network of experienced veterinarians across the RSPCA NSW network. We believe working at the RSPCA NSW allows practitioners to develop their skills faster than in other roles. You will see cases each week that other practices see only once a year!
