Petstock Vet - Bennetts Green
Lead a modern clinic, shape a growing team, and enjoy the lifestyle that Lake Macquarie is famous for.
At Petstock Vet Bennetts Green, we're seeking a Head Veterinarian who wants more than just another leadership title. This is an opportunity to make a genuine impact in a purpose-built clinic, working alongside a passionate team that values collaboration, clinical excellence, humour, and kindness.
Located just minutes from stunning beaches and the Lake Macquarie foreshore, this role offers something increasingly rare in veterinary medicine: the chance to advance your career without sacrificing your life outside of work.
With no after-hours, no on-call and minimal overtime, you'll have the freedom to enjoy everything the region has to offer while building a rewarding career in a supportive and well-resourced environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
As Head Veterinarian, you'll have the opportunity to influence the future direction of the clinic while maintaining a strong clinical focus.
You'll be supported by an experienced Practice Manager and work with a close-knit team that is eager to grow, learn and continue delivering exceptional patient care. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced leader, or for a veterinarian looking to take the next step into leadership with strong support and mentorship.
Our clinic enjoys a consistent caseload, 30-minute consultations, loyal clients, and the ability to work cases up thoroughly while maintaining excellent referral relationships when required.
About Our Clinic
Only three years old, Petstock Vet Bennetts Green was purpose-built with both patient care and team wellbeing in mind.
You'll have access to:
IDEXX in-house pathology
Digital radiology
Dental radiology
Ultrasound
Fully equipped surgical suite
Modern, spacious consult and treatment areas
We pride ourselves on maintaining high clinical standards, strong client relationships, and a collaborative approach to patient care.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking a veterinarian who:
Demonstrates a high standard of clinical practice
Enjoys mentoring and supporting others
Communicates confidently and compassionately
Builds strong relationships with clients and colleagues
Has an interest in leadership, team development and clinic growth
Brings positivity, resilience and a sense of humour to the workplace
What You'll Receive
Competitive remuneration package with regular reviews
Leadership and business mentoring
Unlimited professional development support
A supportive and engaged Practice Manager
Flexible rostering options
No after-hours, on-call, Sundays or public holidays
Paid parental leave
In-clinic VIN membership
Complimentary attendance at the Petstock Group Annual Conference
