Looking for your next adventure on New Zealand’s stunning West Coast?

This is an exciting opportunity for a Large Animal Veterinarian to join a friendly, well-established mixed practice based in the West Coast region of the South Island - available on either a locum or permanent basis.

Our client operates two modern, well-equipped clinics along the West Coast, providing high-quality care for both production and companion animals. Their purpose-built clinic is designed with vets in mind - spacious, modern, and fully resourced with the latest equipment to make your workday smooth and enjoyable.

This role is predominantly dairy-focused, giving you the chance to work closely with a strong and supportive farming community. You’ll also have the opportunity to keep your companion animal skills sharp through participation in the mixed on-call roster.

Location:
Nestled between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea, the West Coast is one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking regions. Think rugged coastlines, lush rainforests, glaciers, and endless outdoor adventures. Enjoy affordable housing, a relaxed pace of life, and easy access to Christchurch - just a 30-minute flight or scenic 3.5-hour drive away.

If you’re ready to experience true Kiwi life and join a supportive, close-knit veterinary team, this could be the perfect role for you.
