About our Team and Culture
Our team is comprised of a bunch of highly enthusiastic and bright individuals. They readily challenge the traditional processes, take risks, and do what is right for the pet and pet owners – whether medically or surgically. They adapt quickly and work well in a fast-paced environment. Above all, they have a deep passion and love for animals, and enjoy spending time and taking care of them.
At Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic, we believe in providing you a nurturing environment and providing you the best opportunity to grow and develop in this role as well as in your career. In addition to the perks and benefits, we are also a VISA Approved employer, who are willing to help overseas vets achieve Permanent Residency in Australia through sponsorship.
When you join our team, you become part of the SoCro family. We value connections both inside and outside of work. We love organising regular social and team-building activities, from park BBQs and fun runs to bigger adventures like group trips to Cairns. Our culture has a genuine family feel, and we're very protective of it. We support each other, celebrate together, and make sure work is balanced with plenty of laughter and shared experiences.
We are looking for a full or part time vet to join our team. Your enthusiasm, compassion, good sense of humour and love of what you do will make you fit in perfectly with our friendly and dedicated team. We have clinics in three of the most convenient and appealing locations in Sydney – St Peters, Surry Hills and Bellevue Hill.
The role is open to experienced candidates or recent graduates with a good easygoing disposition.
About Us:
Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic is a family-owned practice with fantastic clients, a majority of whom are insured. We pride ourselves in offering the best medical care available and in practicing Gold Standard medicine.
We are striving towards achieving the ASAVA Hospital of Excellence accreditation this year.
We offer some of the best technology and facilities comparable to most modern hospitals.
Just like most modern Veterinary Clinics we offer access to Ultrasound, CT scans, Digital X-ray and all the latest technology including Ligasure and Cayman surgical hand-pieces, supported by a remarkable, well-trained team of nurses. Our highly trained nurses are well equipped to perform clinical duties; freeing up time for our Doctors to focus on what they do best.
With all 3 clinics being in prime locations and well equipped for surgery, we rarely need to refer. We have contracted surgeons who perform our TTOs, MPLs and other orthopaedic surgeries as required – all inhouse. Additionally, our strong commitment to Laparoscopic Desexing and minimally invasive surgery not only ensures quicker recovery time for pets, but also means you'll never need to spay a "fat" lab in heat again.
About the Role:
At Southern Cross Vet, we strongly support individual growth by giving you every opportunity to advance in your field of interest. We encourage you to constantly advance yourself through study and seminars; all part of a generous CPD allowance.
Salary:
Competitive salary based on experience.
A full-time role would require you to work 38 hours over 4 days per week and would include one weekend a month.
We have very little after hours work, which means you are able to maintain a Healthy Work Life Balance, leaving you plenty of time to spend with your loved ones & pursue your personal hobbies.
Project HoPe
At Southern Cross Vet Clinic, we also have our own charity called Project HoPe which looks after the medical and surgical needs of the companions of the homeless, ensuring that no pet gets refused treatment and care because of lack of funds. We expect the successful applicant to not only possess the required skills, but also the desire in their hearts to save the lives of the pets of Sydney's least fortunate – those that lead a rough life on the streets.
The bonds between the homeless and their companions are pure and deep. Their four-legged companions are often what keep them going – keep them away from drugs, keep them wanting to wake up another day. We help them because we can.
