Aorangi Veterinary Services - Mixed Practice Veterinarian - Fairlie

Organisation/clinic: Aorangi Veterinary Services

Location: Fairlie, South Canterbury, New Zealand

Position type: Mixed Practice Veterinarian

Website: https://www.aorangivet.co.nz/

About the job:

Aorangi Vets is searching for a forward-thinking experienced mixed animal veterinarian to join our small and dedicated team at our Fairlie clinic. This role represents an excellent opportunity for career and lifestyle and would suit someone who is able to quickly and effectively fit into our team and start making a difference.

About us:

We are an owner/operator mixed animal practice proudly serving Canterbury and the Mackenzie Country for more than 45 years. With clinics in Geraldine, Fairlie, and Timaru, our vision is to be the people's veterinary practice of choice.

Judging by our loyal client base, we think we're on the right track.

We are a team who fosters positive relationships through communication and awareness and we're proud to deliver progressive evidence based veterinary medicine. We focus on preventative animal health to improve the lives of people and their animals.

Our private independent practice places value on having a high-functioning collegial team, that achieves our goals while having fun. We consider ourselves a supportive, and quality-motivated practice. Our emphasis is on providing high standards of client care, good outcomes, and a sense of satisfaction from a job well done.

We have veterinary nursing and technician teams to support us in providing excellent veterinary medicine. This allows us to practice preventative medicine with an animal health and wellbeing focus, in a positive environment.

As you would expect of rural New Zealand, we have a significant farm animal and companion animal client base allowing this role to cover many disciplines. However, many of our veterinarians have areas of special interest which we encourage and support.

Over the years, this has resulted in the development of expertise in areas such as small animal reproduction, orthopaedics, emergency medicine, sheep AI, acupuncture, cattle nutrition, and membership in dairy cattle medicine. We value continued learning and find it rewarding helping our clients.

Our offering to you:

Our Fairlie clinic is located in the stunning South Island of New Zealand, about two hours south of Christchurch and its international airport.

Fairlie is a thriving rural community on the busy scenic route to Tekapo, Aoraki/Mount Cook, and the southern lakes. The pretty town centre boasts great coffee, the famous Fairlie Bakehouse, plus a range of boutique stores.

With a drive time of just over an hour from mountains to sea, we truly live the snow to surf lifestyle here. The district offers an enviable way of life with high quality affordable housing, access to excellent facilities, schools, and the great outdoors with ski fields on the doorstep and Lake Tekopo a short 30-minute drive away.

Wanaka, Queenstown, and the southernn lakes all beckon as easy weekend visits, as does majestic Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.

We offer excellent CPD opportunities, NZVA and VCNZ registration fees are covered, there is always a stocked fruit bowl and snacks, plus plentiful morning teas and other social celebrations through the working week and year.

We take wellbeing seriously, with trained mental health first aiders in each clinic and we have a wellbeing committee who are always seeking out tips and tricks to help support us to live our best life.

We're the sort of team who know how many sugars you take in your tea (or coffee) and will ask how the game went for your youngest on Saturday.

We care. For each other, for the animals and for our clients. Come join us.
