ARH Essendon Fields is a multidisciplinary referral hospital bringing together Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine and Surgery under one roof.
Located just 20 minutes from Melbourne's CBD, we're home to a large and experienced emergency team. Our ECC department includes around 33 veterinarians, with approximately half holding Membership qualifications. Many of our team members have built long-term careers here, including five vets who have been with the hospital for more than 10 years.
We're equally proud of our nursing team. With around 40 nurses & vet techs supporting the hospital, their experience and continuity play a huge role in what makes ARH Essendon Fields such a great place to work. One of our nurses has been part of the team for almost 20 years and we have a VTS level nurse within the team.
The result is a well-supported environment where collaboration, learning and high-quality patient care go hand in hand.
We're looking for Emergency Veterinarians to join our ECC team in either a full-time or part-time capacity.
