Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Pet Hero Full time
Do you love being a small animal vet, but you are not in the right place to make you happy? Do you believe that you can make this world a better place by helping people care for their pets by providing world-class veterinary medicine? Do you like to do things properly and work up and treat cases like you were taught at varsity, with a more efficient private practice spin? Are you a good storyteller who loves to engage with clients at a level where they have no doubt about your love for animals?

Are you ready to learn new things and be challenged and stretched, and grow (not break) as a clinician and a human?


So we know it's a lot to ask, but hey we're not looking for ten vets, just one person to fit our brand of crazy.

We have amazing, well-established practices run by an incredible team of vets who would love to welcome the right person into our tribe.

Want to be part of an excellent team, then read on as we may have the role for you.

SO WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM US?
We work to a high standard. Our practices are certainly not the "inspect, inject and collect" type. We try our best to work up our cases thoroughly like you were taught at Onderstepoort. We have grand rounds regularly, where our vets learn from each other and present case studies.

We train, we record, and we review our standards of care and our processes and cases in a no-blame way.

All to ensure that our patients receive the correct, appropriate and best treatment possible. We do our best to stay at the top of our game.

You can expect a friendly, welcoming, and open culture from top to bottom. Ego isn't a welcome guest here. We want humble team-mates who are not only looking out for themselves but the best interest of everyone. That doesn't mean we are meek. On the contrary, when our team has each other's interests at heart, it makes us strong. We believe in having fun at work and regularly share in a good laugh. None of us are the finished article; we're all learning, growing, and moving forward.

And we want to work with people who push us to get better, who can call us out when we might be wrong, who gently steer us back in the right direction with compassion, kindness and love.


Do we get this right every day? Of course not, but when we get it wrong, we are smart enough to say sorry and fix issues fast, because team harmony matters.


SO WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM YOU?
We're looking for a vet who loves people and pets.

We emphasise the human part of the relationship because we believe if you don't like to work with people, you will not have the success you desire in the treatment of their pets.

Someone with charisma, who builds trusting relationships with ease. Someone who can help clients understand what the right thing to do is, by telling great stories.

Someone who can read the room, deal with what needs to be dealt with, and get on with what needs to be done, staying calm no matter the situation — someone who likes to learn and help others to grow too.


THE ROLE


You will consult, establishing exceptional rapport with the clients, and do full workups, including lab work, diagnostic imaging, and whatever other tests are required to make a diagnosis to treat your patients correctly.

You'll need to work at a fairly brisk pace and multitask.

Orthopaedic surgery is done on a regular basis by our consulting specialist surgeons, but for our generalist vets, soft tissue surgery is scheduled daily.

If you like dentals, you'll find your niche.


You'll care for the animals in the hospital, and you'll stay invested in your patients, and be in touch with their people - no sitting around and checking social media platforms all day.

You will deal with the clients in a compassionate yet assertive way.


You will help out wherever and with whatever is needed to make our practices the best place for pets and their people to come to.
