Position Announcement: WANTED: Thrill-Seeking Swine Vet

March 12, 2019 — Apiam Animal Health Limited

Ready to escape the polar vortex and snow dumps of the Midwest? Come join us in paradise!

Here is an opportunity for a swine veterinarian with 2+ years' experience to join Australia's largest swine veterinary group. Paradise is our beautiful city of Bendigo, located just 90 min from Melbourne and less than 3 hours from the beaches, snowfields and rainforests.

Having graduated in the last couple of years with a passion for swine, you will most likely be working in pig practice or in a mixed practice servicing pig clients. You will already have a basic knowledge of pig health and production but ready make a difference in improving production performance in Australian family run and corporate piggeries.

Whilst applying your knowledge you will also be developing new skills in herd health, production, diagnostics, pharmacology, data analysis, epidemiology, training, biosecurity and welfare.

You will enjoy and be challenged by working with our progressive clients, have the support of a large veterinary and support team and be encouraged to develop your own area of expertise within the business and industry. As a member of Apiam Animal Health, Australia's largest production animal vet group with over 150 veterinarians, you will also benefit from the knowledge gained by interacting and collaborating with your peers that provide vet, nutrition and genetic services to other production animal species. Having worked flat out during a five day week, probably flown to a different state or country and driven a thousand miles, you will get plenty of time to rejuvenate with minimal weekend work and a trip or two overseas back to North America or to Europe to expand your knowledge further.

Living in Central Victoria is great! Vibrant lifestyle with plenty of cafes, restaurants, sporting facilities, cycling trails, wineries, schools for any kids and only 1 ½ hours to the big smoke! We offer a salary package well above the award, incentives, volunteer leave, fully maintained vehicle and open to anything else you need to develop your role and grow the business.
