About the Opportunity
Are you an experienced emergency veterinarian looking for a role that offers professional challenge, flexibility and a positive team environment?

Emergency Vet Adelaide is seeking a passionate and capable Emergency Clinician to join our growing team of eight veterinarians on a permanent part-time basis, with a start date of November 2026.

As a privately owned and operated emergency veterinary practice, we believe exceptional patient care starts with a team that feels supported, valued and empowered to do their best work. You’ll be joining an experienced leadership team that prioritises open communication, work-life balance and ongoing professional development.

This is an opportunity to contribute your emergency medicine expertise in a collaborative environment where your clinical judgement, experience and contribution to the team are valued.

Why Join Emergency Vet Adelaide?
We are a locally owned emergency veterinary clinic dedicated to delivering high-quality, after-hours veterinary care to pets across South Australia. Our team brings extensive experience in emergency veterinary medicine, with a strong focus on compassionate care for patients and their owners.

You’ll work in a newly renovated, well-equipped facility with advanced diagnostic capabilities and an on-site surgical suite. We aim to create an environment where clinicians can work collaboratively, continue developing their skills and help maintain a positive, supportive workplace culture.

We also recognise that a rewarding veterinary career needs to work alongside life outside the clinic. Flexible shift arrangements, a close-knit team and opportunities for further learning and leadership development are all part of what we offer.

The Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for an experienced veterinarian who is confident managing emergency presentations, enjoys working as part of a team and is committed to providing excellent care to both patients and their owners.

You will ideally bring:

• A minimum of five years of clinical experience, with at least two years in emergency practice preferred, although this is not essential.
• Confidence in assessing and managing emergency presentations and critical care cases.
• Competence in managing routine and standard emergency surgical procedures, as well as a general emergency medical caseload.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to demonstrate clinical leadership.
• A willingness to support and mentor junior team members.
• A commitment to outstanding patient care, client communication and a positive team culture.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, values collaboration and wants to contribute to a supportive emergency veterinary team.
