Equine Veterinarian

Equine Veterinarian – Part-Time
Canberra, ACT | 2 days per week | No required after-hours

A rewarding equine role, with flexibility built in.
Looking for a way to keep doing the equine work you enjoy without committing to a full-time position?

Horse Veterinarian is seeking an experienced equine vet to join its established mobile practice in Canberra, helping expand its regular service from four days to five days per week.

With just two days of work each week, this role offers the chance to maintain your clinical skills while leaving plenty of time for other commitments. Whether you’d like to combine the position with another veterinary role, spend more time with your own horses, focus on family or simply enjoy a better work-life balance, there’s room to make it work for you.

The role
You’ll provide ambulatory equine veterinary care to an established client base, working with a varied caseload of pleasure and riding horses, competition horses and retired companions.

Day-to-day work includes routine consultations, lameness investigations, dentistry, preventative health care and occasional urgent cases during business hours.

The practice does not currently provide after-hours services, so there is no compulsory after-hours roster. For vets interested in additional work, there may be an opportunity to undertake after-hours duties separately for extra remuneration.

You’ll have the support of a veterinary nurse at every appointment, along with the equipment needed to deliver quality care out in the field.

What’s on offer?

• Two days per week, with casual and permanent part-time arrangements considered
• Full-time equivalent salary of $100,000–$130,000, depending on experience, paid pro rata
• No required after-hours commitment
• Optional after-hours work for additional remuneration
• A veterinary nurse accompanying every appointment
• A new practice vehicle and work phone
• Fully cordless digital radiography
• Power float and otoscope
• Support for further training and continuing professional development (CPD), particularly in equine dentistry
• A welcoming, supportive team and established client base
• Flexibility to balance veterinary work with life outside the practice

Who are we looking for?
We’re seeking an experienced equine veterinarian who can confidently manage routine appointments independently and enjoys collaborating with a supportive team.

An interest in equine dentistry is important. Previous dental experience would be an advantage, but the practice is happy to support further training and professional development in this area.

Interested?
If you’re after a flexible, well-supported equine position with quality equipment, a varied caseload and no compulsory after-hours work, this could be a great fit.
