Here’s a rare chance to step into a newly built, state-of-the-art hospital in one of New Zealand’s most sought-after coastal regions!
Picture an equine-focused mixed role (around 60% equine, 40% small animal), with the flexibility to shape your caseload to your strengths and ambitions.
Why This Location?
The Bay of Islands is the kind of place people visit on holiday… and then decide to stay. Stunning beaches, marine adventures, a warm climate, relaxed living, and a friendly international community make this region unbeatable for lifestyle.
Whether you’re a horse rider, a hiker, a foodie, or simply someone who appreciates a slower pace, this part of Northland offers something special.
The Opportunity:
Our client has created a brand-new hospital designed with modern workflows, advanced equipment, and the space to support a growing mixed and equine caseload. They’re looking for a veterinarian with around 3–10 years’ experience, ideally someone who enjoys the equine side and is excited about a role with variety and freedom.
If leadership appeals, there’s plenty of room to grow - future partnership opportunities are available for the right person.

Salary: NZD$120k–$160k+, depending on experience
9–10 weeks annual leave
Flexible roster with a relaxed on-call structure
Fully equipped vehicle for ambulatory work
Visa sponsorship & relocation support
Supportive mixed team with a great balance of experience
