Veterinary Clinician (Production Animal)

Deliver high quality production animal clinical services and contribute to the education of the next generation of veterinarians

Working in a well-equipped University teaching clinic, with access to a range of modern equipment and fully equipped vehicles for on farm work, you will provide a range of high quality production animal veterinary services to the local community and contribute to clinical teaching and supervision of final-year students by involving them in clinical case management, providing additional learning opportunities where appropriate and demonstrating the highest standard of clinical and professional behaviour.

The work is genuinely mixed across all production animal species and will suit an enthusiastic, team-oriented veterinarian with a passion for production animal medicine. Supported by experienced animal technicians and working as part of a clinical team along with support from a group of experienced academics, specialists and pathologists, this is an opportunity to deliver high quality veterinary services to the community while also making an important contribution to the clinical education of the next generation of veterinarians.

Further study and Continuing Professional Development activities are encouraged and supported with time off and up to $3,000 per annum available towards approved activities.

On-call and overtime allowances apply for participation in after-hours on-call roster in accordance with University of Adelaide Enterprise Agreement.
