  • Build trusted relationships with clients and their pets
  • Collaborate closely with veterinarians, veterinary nurses and support staff
  • Contribute to a positive clinic culture and high clinical standards

What You'll Need

  • Registration (or eligibility for registration) with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand
  • Experience in companion animal practice
  • Confidence across general practice medicine and surgery
  • Strong communication and client relationship skills
  • A collaborative, team-focused approach and positive attitude
