Join a friendly and well-established equine practice in New Zealand – just 30 minutes from Auckland’s vibrant city centre!

This independently owned practice is looking for a motivated Equine Veterinarian to join their 3-vet team, bringing passion, teamwork, and quality care to their clients and their horses.

You’ll be part of a wider network of around 20 veterinarians across three divisions - with all the support, resources, and professional collaboration of a larger group, while still enjoying the close-knit feel of a smaller team.

This role offers a diverse, sport-horse-focused caseload and the opportunity to develop your interests in areas such as dentistry, reproduction, lameness, or medicine. You’ll work alongside highly experienced colleagues, including board-certified surgeons and internal medicine specialists, who foster a genuinely collaborative and supportive environment.

The team places a strong emphasis on continuing education and professional development, offering journal clubs, topic rounds, CPD funding, and international training opportunities.

What’s on offer:

  • Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
  • After-hours remuneration and equal shared rota
  • Fully equipped vehicle provided
  • Paid professional memberships, licenses, and insurance
  • CE/CPD allowance and phone package
  • Four weeks annual leave plus additional time off for after-hours work
  • Employer-matched KiwiSaver retirement contributions
  • Access to New Zealand’s public healthcare system

Location:
Enjoy the best of both worlds – peaceful rural living surrounded by vineyards, beaches, and outdoor adventure, with Auckland’s restaurants, culture, and nightlife just a short drive away. It’s an ideal spot for anyone who loves horses, the outdoors, and a welcoming community.

If you’re an experienced or developing equine veterinarian looking for a supportive, progressive team in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful regions – this could be the perfect move for you.
