Cashmere Vets are looking for a Small Animal Veterinarian to join our friendly team on a 12-month fixed-term contract from February 2027.

About the clinic

Located in the beautiful suburb of Cashmere, just 10 minutes from Christchurch's city centre, our 100% small animal clinic combines the feel of a close-knit practice with the benefits of being part of a larger veterinary network.
