Veterinary Superintendent

Veterinary Superintendent – Sydney Animal Hospitals Baulkham Hills

Ready to join a hospital where your skills are celebrated, your ideas matter, and no two days are the same?

We're only 2 years young and already growing fast!

Our hospital was designed with both pets and people in mind. With a state-of-the-art surgical suite, an onsite rehabilitation centre, and a genuinely supportive team who pitch in, help each other out and have fun along the way, we've created a workplace we're pretty proud of.

Our fabulous Superintendent is starting her family, so we are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic veterinarian to help lead our fantastic team and continue growing our hospital.

If you're passionate about surgery, patient care, mentoring others and being part of a great team, we'd love to hear from you!

A little about the role

As our Veterinary Superintendent, you'll play an important role in both the clinical and day-to-day leadership of the hospital.

We're looking for someone who leads by example, enjoys getting stuck into an interesting caseload and is just as passionate about supporting their team as they are about caring for their patients.

You'll be responsible for:

• Providing exceptional veterinary care and building strong, lasting relationships with our clients and their pets.
• Confidently managing complex medical cases and performing routine and advanced surgical procedures, including dentistry and soft tissue surgery.
• Supporting and overseeing patient management to ensure the highest standards of care.
• Leading, mentoring and developing our veterinary team, helping everyone reach their potential.
• Managing veterinary rosters, leave and staff performance reviews.
• Maintaining clinical standards, hospital records and compliance with relevant regulations and SAH policies.
• Working closely with the wider team and management to keep the hospital running smoothly.
• Bringing fresh ideas, great problem-solving skills and a positive attitude to the hospital.
• You'll have plenty of support along the way from our experienced Head Nurse, our wider network of six hospitals and a hands-on management team who are genuinely invested in your success.
• We're big believers in working together and love hearing fresh ideas, whether it's finding new ways to improve patient and client care or making our hospital an even better place for the team to work.
• We want our people to feel supported, valued and motivated, and we're always open to ideas on how we can make that happen!

What we're looking for

• A qualified veterinarian (DVM or equivalent) registered, or eligible for registration, in NSW.
• 5+ years of clinical experience.
• Confidence in managing advanced medical and surgical cases.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build great relationships with both clients and colleagues.
• Excellent time management, organisation and problem-solving skills.
• Someone comfortable working independently but who also loves being part of a team.
• A natural leader who enjoys mentoring, teaching and supporting others.
• Most importantly, someone who genuinely cares about their patients, their team and the workplace they're helping to build.

Why you'll love working with us

• A high nurse-to-vet ratio – our nurses actually get to nurse! You'll have a skilled support team who can use their training, allowing our vets to focus on what they do best.
• A modern hospital with all the toys – our purpose-built facility is equipped to provide exceptional patient care.
• An exciting surgical caseload – including orthopaedics, advanced soft tissue surgery and plenty of opportunities to put your skills to work.
• Onsite rehabilitation centre – providing continuity of care and allowing us to support patients throughout their recovery.
• A genuinely supportive team – we work hard, help each other out and know how to have a laugh along the way.
• Support from senior management – our management team is regularly onsite, approachable and available when you need them.
• Opportunities to grow – whether it's developing your own clinical skills, mentoring others or helping shape the future of the hospital.
• A workplace where your opinion matters – we value fresh ideas, open communication and people who want to make a difference.
• A growing hospital with a great client base – interesting cases, committed clients and the opportunity to build lasting relationships.

Sound like your kind of place?

We're not looking for someone to simply fill a position. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of our team, take pride in the hospital and help us continue building something great.

If you're an experienced vet who's ready for a leadership role without losing the hands-on clinical work you love, Sydney Animal Hospitals Baulkham Hills could be the perfect fit.
