The posting
Veterinarian | VetWest Yokine | Full Time or Part Time
A varied GP caseload with a genuine splash of emergency—without the nights, shift work, or burnout that usually comes with it.
VetWest Yokine sits within a diverse, community-driven catchment, with clients across mixed socio-economic and age groups who are genuinely willing to treat. It’s a busy, engaging clinic that offers the best of both worlds—strong GP foundations with a higher exposure to urgent and emergency-style cases, all within standard daytime hours.
You’ll be joining a close-knit team of 3 vets (including a Head Vet), supported by 4 nurses and a Practice Manager. The team works collaboratively in a fast-paced environment where everyone plays their part and supports each other through the day.
The clinic is well-equipped to support a broad GP caseload, including ultrasound, soft tissue surgery and dentals, with an even split of cats and dogs. With shared facilities previously alongside PVE, the clinic continues to see a higher volume of urgent and emergency cases—giving you the opportunity to build confidence and clinical depth, without stepping into full emergency or after-hours work.
This isn’t just your next role. It’s an opportunity to grow your skillset, keep your days interesting, and maintain balance outside the clinic.
