Veterinary Specialist Services is an established Small Animal referral practice in South East Queensland. We have hospitals at Carrara, Jindalee, and Underwood. We are striving to create an environment where people can do their best work. Our teams are very passionate about delivering patient care and support each other to do it. We have a very diverse skill set and can offer just about all specialities, diagnostic modalities, and therapies across our practice group. We have residency training programs for vets, in house training programs for nurses and internships where many of our interns have progressed to become registered Specialists. We are involved in the industry with wide participation in professional groups, universities, continuing education courses and we run our own annual conference.
Job Description
The successful candidate will monitor and manage hospitalised patients overnight under the care of the specialist teams, working within established treatment plans across internal medicine, surgery, oncology and critical care. The role includes responding to overnight in-patient emergencies (no new admissions) and escalating patient needs, with specialist support available on-call, and handing over to day teams each morning to ensure continuity of care.
This role suits a veterinarian who wants to see what referral level hospital medicine involves without committing to it long term, while leaving the door open if it proves to be the right fit on both sides.
