ARH Essendon Fields is a multidisciplinary referral hospital bringing together Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine and Surgery under one roof.

Located just 20 minutes from Melbourne's CBD, we're home to a large and experienced emergency team. Our ECC department includes around 33 veterinarians, with approximately half holding Membership qualifications. Many of our team members have built long-term careers here, including five vets who have been with the hospital for more than 10 years.

We're equally proud of our nursing team. With around 40 nurses & vet techs supporting the hospital, their experience and continuity play a huge role in what makes ARH Essendon Fields such a great place to work. One of our nurses has been part of the team for almost 20 years and we have a VTS level nurse within the team.

The result is a well-supported environment where collaboration, learning and high-quality patient care go hand in hand.

We're looking for Emergency Veterinarians to join our ECC team in either a full-time or part-time capacity.

This is a busy emergency service with an interesting and varied caseload. You'll work alongside experienced emergency vets, specialists and highly skilled nurses, managing everything from routine emergencies through to critical and complex cases.

What really sets our team apart is the level of support available on every shift. We are well staffed, collaborative, and you'll rarely find yourself managing challenging cases alone.

You'll have access to:

• A varied emergency caseload, including medical and surgical cases
• Support from a large and experienced ECC team, with mentorship available at every stage of your career
• Daily collaboration with specialists in Medicine and Surgery
• Advanced diagnostic equipment including MRI, CT, fluoroscopy, ultrasound and endoscopy
• Strong staffing levels across every shift, with flexible rostering that supports different lifestyles and family commitments
• Membership support and ECC-focused continuing education
• Greencross continuing education programs and complimentary registration to the Greencross Clinical Symposium
• Career progression opportunities across the Greencross and Animal Referral & Emergency Network (AREN)

We're looking for veterinarians who:

• Hold (or are eligible for) veterinary registration in Victoria
• Have at least two years of clinical experience
• Communicate well with clients, colleagues and referring veterinarians
• Are committed to high-quality patient care
• ECC experience is welcome but not essential. We're happy to support veterinarians looking to develop their emergency skills within a well-supported environment.

If you're looking for a busy emergency hospital with strong staffing levels, experienced colleagues and plenty of clinical support, we'd love to hear from you.
