Job no:506027
Work type:Continuing - Full-time
Campus:Regional South Australia
Categories:Animal & Veterinary Sciences, Level B, Level C

(Level B/C) $102,952 to $144,368 per annum plus an employer contribution of 17% superannuation. An appropriate salary package will be negotiated with the preferred applicant based on their knowledge and experience.

The University of Adelaide’s School of Animal & Veterinary Science is seeking to employ a skilled veterinary anaesthetist, with a passion for patient care and imparting their knowledge and expertise. This is a continuing, full-time position, with some rostered out of hours and weekend work required.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team, teaching into the DVM program and also providing clinical service in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH). As the clinical arm of the school, the VTH offers high quality first opinion and specialist referral veterinary services to the public. The VTH also provides a clinical training environment for final year veterinary and veterinary technology students working under the close supervision of experienced veterinary surgeons, nurses and support staff.

This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the teaching and research efforts of a Go8 University and South Australia’s only veterinary teaching hospital. This is a role that will not only allow you to put your specialist expertise into practice, but also see you contribute to the education of the next generation of veterinarians and veterinary technologists.

In this position, you will teach anaesthesiology across small and large animal species to our veterinary and veterinary technology students. Working in a clinical training environment, you will have the opportunity to make an important contribution to the future of the veterinary profession by involving students in case management and modelling the highest standards of clinical excellence and professionalism in veterinary care.

Our modern and well-equipped Companion Animal Health Centre (CAHC) and Equine Health and Performance Centre (EHPC) hospital facilities offer a range of services to the general public, ranging from first opinion, emergency and specialist referral veterinary services. You will find a unique team approach to delivering clinical excellence, working alongside a strong clinical support team of nurses and trainee Veterinary Technicians. Both our Large and Small Animal Hospitals are accredited by the Veterinary Surgeons Board of South Australia. As you would expect from a board-accredited hospital, our facilities and equipment are of the highest standard, with a spacious, modern, purpose-built space. Our hospital is supported by the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, which is located within the same building. This is often invaluable for fast turnaround of clinical pathology reports and direct contact with pathologists for case discussion.

The School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences provides world-class, outcome-based education and training of animal and veterinary scientists in a research environment. The School is located on the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy Campus, and is surrounded by great lifestyle opportunities. We are situated on the doorstep of the Barossa Valley, an internationally renowned wine region and a delightful part of the world. We have easy access to beaches, sporting activities, benchmark schools and shopping facilities. There is easy access to the city and its many attractions. Adelaide is known as a cultural centre, with its hugely successful Festival of the Arts, and as a sports-mad destination.

We are seeking applications from candidates with a demonstrated track record of excellence in patient care and a passion for imparting knowledge, teaching and mentoring to the next generation of veterinarians. This opportunity offers diversity in day-to-day work, where, in addition to clinical work, you will actively contribute to course coordination, lectures, tutorials and clinical rotations of our students.

To be successful you will need:

• A qualification in Veterinary Science or equivalent degree that is acceptable for registration in South Australia.
• A Professional College specialist qualification (Fellowship of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists or a specialist Diploma from a relevant college of the American or European Boards of Veterinary Specialisation) awarded in anaesthesiology or related discipline, or eligibility to sit Board examinations having completed an approved residency.
• Demonstrated ability and commitment to teaching, supervising and mentoring veterinary students and veterinary technologists within a clinical setting.
• Demonstrated ability to manage a service caseload within a private practice or teaching veterinary hospital.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, and a demonstrated ability to work collaboratively as a member of clinical, teaching and research teams.
