A Different Kind of Veterinary Practice
The hospital was established from scratch approximately seven years ago and has continued to grow successfully.
It is a modern, fully private facility with a strong focus on Fear Free care.
Rather than a traditional high-volume clinical environment, the team has created a relaxed setting where veterinarians are given the time to provide high-quality medicine and build meaningful relationships with their clients.
The practice typically aims for around 1015 patients per veterinarian per day, with appointments not driven by rigid 15- or 30-minute time slots.
The facility includes:
Dedicated surgical suite
Dedicated dental room
Digital medical records
Digital radiography
Ultrasound
Laser therapy
Modern diagnostic equipment
Dedicated space for dentistry and routine soft‑tissue surgery
There is the opportunity to perform at least one full day of surgery each week, with additional surgical time available for a veterinarian who particularly enjoys surgery.
Clinical Caseload
This is predominantly a small animal GP caseload, with opportunities to work across:
Preventative medicine
Internal medicine
Dentistry
Soft‑tissue surgery
Routine spays, neuters and mass removals
Diagnostic imaging
Occasional wildlife rescue cases
Orthopedic surgery is not currently performed, allowing the focus to remain on high‑quality general practice and soft‑tissue procedures.
Supportive Team & Mentorship
You will initially work closely alongside the owner, with the level of independence increasing as you become comfortable.
The practice employs approximately 10 team members and has demonstrated a strong commitment to staff development.
Several team members have been with the hospital for around five years, and the practice has supported employees through veterinary technician school.
The practice is also open to confident new graduates, with the owner prepared to provide hands‑on mentorship and support until they feel comfortable working independently.
Experienced veterinarians are encouraged to bring their own clinical interests and develop the role around the areas of medicine they particularly enjoy.
Potential Partnership / Ownership
For a veterinarian looking to make a long‑term commitment, there may be an opportunity to develop toward a future partnership or ownership position within the practice
This could suit an experienced Associate who is looking for a longer‑term career pathway and would like the opportunity to become more involved in the continued growth and development of an established private hospital.
