You’ll have access to advanced diagnostic equipment including ultrasound, X-ray and CT, a dedicated radiographer and an on-site Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
The team reports to the Hospital Director, and you will join the Roseworthy Veterinary Hospital's Small Animal Hospital, a collaborative team providing GP, referral and emergency veterinary services. Working alongside experienced specialists, veterinary nurses and support staff, you will contribute to exceptional patient care while supporting the University's teaching and research mission.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a supportive, hands-on clinical environment where every day brings something different.
