About the opportunity
Bayside Animal Hospital is looking for an experienced small animal veterinarian to join our enthusiastic and progressive team. This flexible position involves working across our Waterloo, Wolli Creek and Rhodes clinics as required, with part-time and weekend hours available to suit your circumstances. If you prefer to work primarily on weekends, we would love to hear from you.

We are passionate about delivering high standards of evidence-based veterinary medicine and believe in continually developing our clinical skills. You will work alongside a friendly, energetic team that values collaboration, professional growth and excellent patient care. With a strong focus on feline medicine, this is an opportunity to build your skills in a practice that sees a higher proportion of cats than dogs.

Excellent facilities and clinical support
Our purpose-designed hospitals have been fitted out with substantial investment in modern veterinary technology, giving you the equipment and resources to investigate cases thoroughly and provide high-quality care.

Our equipment includes point-of-care PCR testing, digital radiography, multiparameter anaesthetic monitors with capnography, Doppler, and an extensive suite of IDEXX diagnostic analysers, including Catalyst One, ProCyte and SediVue. Additional equipment includes coagulation testing, InVue, VetStat, VCheck, TonoVet, ophthalmoscopy equipment, small animal ultrasound, portable ultrasound and an IM3 dental unit with dental radiography.

You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with experienced colleagues, including an in-house internal medicine specialist and veterinarians holding additional professional memberships. We encourage continuing education and are happy to support team members who want to extend their clinical capabilities.

Live and work in some of Sydney’s most convenient neighbourhoods
The position offers the opportunity to work across three well-connected Sydney locations, each with its own character. Waterloo provides convenient access to Sydney’s inner-city lifestyle, with cafes, restaurants, shopping and entertainment close by. It is an appealing base for someone who enjoys being close to the city and its vibrant food and cultural scene.

Wolli Creek offers a convenient urban lifestyle with railway connections, local shops and nearby green spaces, making it a practical option for balancing work and personal commitments. Rhodes combines a modern residential setting with waterfront walking areas, shopping and dining options. Across all three locations, the original role offers easy access to train stations, everyday shopping and a coffee shop within a minute’s walk of each clinic.

What we’re looking for
The successful applicant will:

• Hold a veterinary degree that is registrable in New South Wales.
• Have at least two years of small animal clinical experience. Exceptional candidates with slightly less experience may be considered, but this is not a graduate position.
• Have sound general medicine and surgical skills, with a particular interest or strength in feline medicine.
• Be committed to providing excellent, evidence-based veterinary care.
• Demonstrate strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Be comfortable working both independently and collaboratively as part of a team.
• Be available to work some weekends, or primarily weekends if preferred.

An exceptional, experienced candidate may also be considered for a full-time position.

Remuneration and benefits
We offer a highly competitive salary package starting at $100,000 FTE pro rata, substantially above award rates, with a discretionary end-of-year bonus based on performance.

You will receive a continuing education allowance of at least $1,500 per year and five days of study leave annually, both calculated pro rata for part-time employment. We have consistently provided additional support for eligible continuing education where appropriate. You will also have access to VIN and other learning resources to help you continue developing your clinical expertise.

Our approach to work is built around sustainable workloads and a balanced working environment, with 20–30-minute consultations and flexible scheduling to accommodate family and personal commitments.

You can enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks throughout your working day. We also welcome team members who rescue cats, kittens, puppies or dogs, and are happy to support their efforts.

If you are preparing for your MANZCVS examinations, our head veterinarian is happy to provide mentorship and guidance.

Additional skills are rewarded. Candidates with experience in orthopaedics, advanced dentistry, endoscopy, ultrasonography, or training veterinary nurses and new graduates may be offered a more generous salary package.

Join a diverse and welcoming team
We care for a diverse, international community across Sydney and value the ability to communicate with clients from different backgrounds. Applicants who speak additional languages are strongly encouraged to apply, with Mandarin and/or Korean language skills particularly valued.

If you are looking for a role where you can practise good medicine, develop professionally and enjoy flexibility within a supportive team, we would love to hear from you.
