Veterinarian AND Vet Nurse / Practice Manager Positions for New Clinic
Seeking expressions of interest from vets and vet nurses/practice managers who may be interested in joining a brand new vet clinic in Cairns.
As first-time clinic owners with no existing connections in the area, we need a vet and vet nurse onboard before we can open a clinic. Therefore, we are reaching out to see if anyone might be interested in what we’re proposing.
About the clinic owners:
- We don’t live in Cairns, but would aim to visit the clinic weekly or fortnightly once established.
- We are searching for an experienced vet and vet nurse/practice manager.
- We’re experienced business owners and managers, just never tried our hand at a vet clinic before!
- We will be available for phone calls/questions during the day, but will mostly leave the running of the business to the team.
- We would be seeking guidance and info from the team in order to set up the business.
About the clinic:
- Ideally opening early 2025 (finance secured, just need a premises and team!).
- Will be located centrally around Edge Hill, Manunda, Manoora area.
- Will have a receptionist for answering phones, making appointments, and taking payments only (not responsible for ordering, animal care, etc.).
- Dogs and cats only.
- No major surgeries at this stage, as we aim to avoid overnight stays for animals due to rostering requirements.
- Aiming to bring a second vet onto the team as soon as feasible.
About the vet:
- Being the ‘face’ of our business, we’re looking for someone who is not only a fantastic vet but is also great with pet owners and team members.
- Paid per hour, equivalent to a $120,000 annual salary.
- Must be experienced with dental, desexing, and diagnostics. Major surgery experience is a bonus for potential future needs.
- Ideally available Monday-Friday, or could also consider two part-time vets.
- Must be keen to help us tackle this project - equipment selection, product choices, layout guidance, etc.
About the vet nurse/practice manager:
- We hope to find a registered vet nurse who is ready for the challenge of managing a small practice.
- Approximate hourly wage equals $80,000-$90,000 per annum pending experience.
- The nurse would assist with surgeries and be responsible for animal care and client discharges.
- Would also manage the practice - inventory management, purchasing, cleaning, ordering, etc.
- Ideally hoping to find someone keen to help with the setup process, including booking system setup, purchasing stock, establishing processes and systems, physically setting up the clinic, etc.
- Ideally available Monday-Friday; may consider two part-time team members with clear division of duties.
We’re looking for fun, like-minded, energetic people to build this with us!
If interested, please text 0459575***, and we will send you an email address to submit an introduction along with relevant info regarding experience and availability.
We’d love to chat and fill you in on our plans. Absolute discretion promised!
