Lead Veterinary Surgeon - VetWest Rockingham

  • Perth, Western Australia
  • VetWest
  • Permanent Full-Time

Lead Veterinarian | VetWest Rockingham

Lead the team. Keep your caseload. Shape what comes next.

Some days, you’ll be in surgery. On others, you’ll help a colleague work through a tricky case or bring the team together to improve how patients move from admission to recovery. At VetWest Rockingham, you’ll do all of that in a new, purpose-built hospital with a team that already enjoys sharing knowledge and working through cases together.

We’re looking for an experienced small animal veterinarian who enjoys practising good medicine and helping others do the same. You’ll continue consulting, operating and managing your own cases while guiding clinical standards, mentoring your colleagues and shaping how the hospital works day to day.

What clinical leadership looks like here

  • Stay hands-on. Manage your own caseload across consults and surgery, and keep developing in the areas of medicine that interest you.

  • Make time for mentoring. Help colleagues build confidence through case discussions, practical coaching and working through clinical decisions together.

  • Shape how the hospital runs. Work with the vet and nursing teams to refine clinical protocols and patient workflows as the team settles into the new space.

  • Partner with your Practice Manager. You’ll bring the clinical perspective to decisions about the hospital, with your Practice Manager supporting the day-to-day operations.

A team you can lead and learn from

You’ll work alongside vets with a range of clinical interests and experience. There’s room to share what you do well, get another perspective on a difficult case and learn from colleagues across the wider VetWest network.

If you already lead a team, or you’re the vet colleagues turn to for a second opinion and you’re ready to take on a formal leadership role, we’d love to hear from you.

Support for your continued growth

  • $2,000 annual CPD allowance

  • One week of study leave each year

  • Free CPD courses and workshops through our Veterinary Training Centre

  • Opportunities to connect with experienced vets across the wider VetWest network

  • Visa sponsorship considered for eligible candidates

Make your move to Rockingham

A beach walk after work is an easy part of life in Rockingham. You’ll have the coast close by, a relaxed local lifestyle and Perth within reach.
