Internal Medicine Head of Department Opportunity

VetPartners Australia Pty Ltd is looking for an experienced and passionate Internal Medicine Specialist to join their growing team at Sydney Veterinary Emergency & Specialists (SVES) as Head of Department.

SVES is proud to be part of the VetPartners network, which includes 260 general practice clinics and 11 referral sites across Australia and New Zealand. As part of this growing and supportive network, you’ll benefit from a wide-reaching community of veterinary professionals who share your passion for high-quality patient care.

SVES is in the heart of the Eastern Suburbs, Sydney and offers a comprehensive multi-disciplinary referral service across surgery, medicine, anaesthesia, imaging, dermatology and oncology departments as well as an established and experienced 24/7 emergency service.

This is an exciting leadership opportunity to work in a dynamic, collegial environment and play an active role in setting new heights for veterinary surgical services in Sydney.

An Exciting Leadership Opportunity to Work in a Collaborative Environment

At SVES, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. We foster a supportive and positive workplace culture where open communication, collaboration, and exceptional patient care are at the heart of everything we do. This has led to outstanding long-term staff retention and a loyal, dedicated team.

Our exceptional culture ensures that everyone - whether they are a Specialist, Nurse, Intern or Client - feels valued and part of a team that shares the same commitment to excellence in patient and client care.

We are looking for a Head of Department, Internal Medicine Specialist, to join our growing Medicine team. Our dedicated Medicine team has a strong sense of collaboration and teamwork. We are looking for someone who wishes to lead and grow this committed team, someone who is looking for an adventure with a collegial sense of humour and someone that inspires those around them to strive for excellence in veterinary care.

In this role, you will have access to various diagnostic equipment, including AGFA digital radiography, Philips Affinity and CX-50 ultrasounds, 16-slice GE Lightspeed CT, Olympus and Pentax endoscopy, full IDEXX internal laboratory, ventilators, and more. We also have a dedicated Diagnostic Imaging department on site with ready access to same-day MRI.  

About You

To be successful in this role you must have achieved Diplomate or equivalent status (ACVIM / ECVIM / FANZCVS). Leadership or Head of Department experience is ideal but not essential. It is essential that your veterinary degree qualification will be eligible for Specialist Registration with the Australian Veterinary Board Council and be able to be registered as a practicing veterinarian in the state of New South Wales.

If you share our values of excellence, collaboration, and compassion, and have a ‘can-do’ nature, we'd love from you.

Join our SVES family and enjoy the benefits such as
  • Generous base salary + wealth creation options
  • Generous study leave and continuing education allowances
  • Tailored relocation package to suit your personal needs including relocation support, visa sponsorship and Australian Veterinary Registration assistance (for the appropriate candidate)
  • Flexible paid parental leave for both primary and secondary carers
  • An amazing workplace culture with long-term staff retention and a team-oriented approach
  • Excellent work-life balance, including roster and on-call.
  • A diverse caseload and an inclusive medicine team that values professional satisfaction and personal well-being
  • Sydney is known for its safety, family-friendly atmosphere, and world-renowned beaches, making it an ideal destination for both living and visiting
