Consultant - Oliver Whyte

Job Description
This is a full-time opportunity within a beautifully presented, newer-build hospital that combines routine primary care with same-day urgent care, giving doctors an interesting and varied caseload without the intensity of a full ER setting.
The practice offers wellness visits, urgent care, dentistry, surgery, vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, and health certificates, all within a clean, well-equipped setting designed to provide a calm, compassionate experience for clients and patients.
The clinical team is led by an experienced Medical Director who holds certifications in veterinary acupuncture. She is joined by another Associate Veterinarian alongside a highly experienced Hospital Manager with over a decade of experience in animal care. This creates a collaborative, well-supported environment where doctors are trusted with autonomy but still benefit from strong leadership and mentorship when needed.
This role would suit a veterinarian with at least 3 years of experience who is confident seeing cases solo and who enjoys the mix of GP and urgent care medicine. There is an opportunity here to play a meaningful role in the continued growth of the hospital, from client experience and staff development through to medical standards and workflow evolution. Compensation is highly competitive, with a base salary of $150,000–$200,000 plus a production bonus, along with a comprehensive benefits package.
