If you’ve been dreaming of a veterinary role that offers real variety and a lifestyle to match, this could be the one! This mixed animal position combines rewarding clinical work with coastal living in one of New Zealand’s most scenic regions.
The Location:
Based across Waihi and Whangamatā on the Coromandel Peninsula, you’ll be surrounded by golden beaches, native bush walks, and a relaxed coastal vibe. It’s the kind of place where weekends are spent outdoors, and the commute is measured in minutes, not hours.
The Role:
This is a genuine mixed practice role, offering exposure to companion animals, farm work, and everything in between. You’ll work between two clinics - a modern, purpose-built facility in Whangamatā and a growing clinic in Waihi - giving you variety and room to develop your skills.
A fair 1:4 after-hours roster is in place, with all on-call work paid on top of your base salary, ensuring your time is genuinely respected.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
True mixed animal caseload
Supportive environment for new graduates with hands-on mentoring
Modern diagnostics including digital radiography, ultrasound, and in-house lab
Well-equipped surgical facilities with advanced monitoring
Generous CPD support and encouragement to keep learning
Collaborative, down-to-earth team culture
Who This Would Suit:
You’ll be a veterinarian eligible for registration in New Zealand with a genuine interest in mixed practice. Experience is welcome, but not essential - attitude, curiosity, and a willingness to learn matter most. If you enjoy being part of a close-knit team and making a real impact in rural and coastal communities, you’ll fit right in.
