Veterinary Locums

**We all need a holiday sometime**

Hi I’m Dr Gary and I own Woofpurnay Veterinary Hospital..

Woofpurnay is a busy expanding practice and my team and I have been working hard to look after our amazing clients and their pets.

So hard that I haven’t taken a break in nearly 3 years.

We all deserve a break and I have been planning a holiday to try and achieve mine.

Whilst I have two additional vets working with me, it isn’t enough to cover me while I am away.

**I need your help**

I am looking for a number of locum vets to support my team and clients during this time.

Whilst I will be going away for the month of September, we are busy enough for locum support right now until the end of September and possibly beyond.

So, if you are a Victorian based locum vet with the capacity to assist, I would love to hear from you.

We are looking for locum vets with a bit of experience (3 years plus, working with dogs and cats). Surgery experience would be great too, but it’s not essential.

Whether it be a day a week, weekends or something more substantial, I am keen to piece together coverage so my clients can be looked after.

We are a large veterinary hospital, a massive 2,800 square meter facility like no other that has grown to become a well-recognised provider of first-class veterinary care and education.

We will make sure you are fully supported in your time with us

There will always be a dedicated nurse by your side. So, no wrestling with unfamiliar systems or working out how to price things up

If you can help, let’s chat and see if we can make something work.

We look forward to hearing from you
