Summary

Our client, a well-established small-animal clinic in the beautiful coastal town of Melkbosstrand, is seeking a skilled, dedicated, and qualified Veterinarian to join their friendly and supportive team.

 

This opportunity is available on either a part-time or full-time basis. One of the clinic’s permanent veterinarians will be on maternity leave from early May to the end of August, and the practice is therefore looking for a reliable locum Veterinarian to cover these shifts.

 

The locum role offers a balanced schedule of:

6-hour shifts every weekday

4 hours every second Saturday

 

In addition to the locum position, the practice is also open to appointing a permanent Veterinarian, with part-time hours consisting of half-day shifts during the week and alternating Saturdays—ideal for candidates seeking long-term stability with flexibility.

 

The ideal candidate will be passionate about small animal care, confident in general clinical work, and enjoy working as part of a close-knit team in a community-focused practice.

 

Interested candidates are invited to apply online or contact amanda@optivet.co.za for more information.
