Why you’ll enjoy this role:

  • A supportive and collaborative team culture

  • Excellent work–life balance with predictable hours

  • A well-run clinic with a strong reputation in the local community

  • A relaxed coastal location close to the beach, cafés, and Christchurch city amenities

  • An excellent salary package reflective of your experience

This opportunity would suit a veterinarian with 2+ years’ experience who enjoys building lasting client relationships and working as part of a supportive team.
