Locum Vet

Who are we:

West Toowoomba Veterinary Surgery is a modern, purpose-built companion animal practice dedicated to providing exceptional care for small animals, exotics, birds, and local wildlife. Equipped with separate air-conditioned cat, dog, and bird wards, a digital x-ray suite, and laser therapy facilities, our practice blends high clinical standards with low-stress handling principles. Supported by a passionate, welcoming team and strong community ties—including serving as the local RSPCA’s official veterinary partner—it is a supportive and rewarding environment for any locum.

The Opportunity

• Work Pattern: 4-day work week (Thursday rostered day off preferred)
• Shift Hours: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm (includes a 1-hour unpaid lunch break)
• Start Date: Flexible — choose any 2-week block in November starting on a Monday
• Benefits: Accommodation reimbursement and access to a clinic vehicle available if required

The Position

• Low-Stress Handling: Experience or interest in Fear Free principles — while we aren't officially certified, low-stress patient care is central to how we practice every day.
• Exotics & Wildlife Caseload: High interest or experience in avian, reptile, small mammal, or wildlife care is highly desirable, as we treat significantly more exotic cases than the average GP clinic.
• Work-Life Balance: No sole charge, weekend work, or after-hours shifts required.

Requirements:

• Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) or an equivalent degree recognised in Australia.
• Minimum 2 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic
