Anaesthesia Veterinarian

Anaesthesia Veterinarian – Animalius Vet 

Develop advanced anaesthesia skills—without sacrificing your weekends 

Animalius Vet is growing, and we are looking for a motivated veterinarian to join our team in a role with a strong anaesthesia focus and a roster genuinely designed to support work–life balance. 

Since opening in 2020, Animalius has grown into a thriving specialist referral hospital in Perth, providing advanced care across medicine, surgery, diagnostic imaging, dentistry and anaesthesia. 

The Role

For four weeks of each six-week roster, you will provide anaesthesia support across the hospital, working alongside our specialists and experienced nursing team to deliver safe, high-quality care for a varied and interesting caseload.

This may include:

• Developing and implementing anaesthetic plans for patients across surgery, imaging, dentistry and medicine
• Induction, monitoring and recovery of patients undergoing advanced procedures
• Managing complex and higher-risk anaesthetic cases
• Gaining experience with anaesthesia ventilators and loco-regional techniques
• Supporting high quality pain management and patient care throughout the peri-anaesthetic period
• Contributing to daily rounds, case discussions and ongoing clinical learning

The remaining two weeks consist of:

• One week of evening shifts, Monday to Thursday, from 3.30 pm to midnight
• One week of overnight shifts, Monday to Thursday, from 11.30 pm to 8.00 am

Daytime weeks total 38 hours, while after-hours weeks total 32 hours.

Best of all, Animalius closes from Friday afternoon until Monday morning. That means no weekend shifts and protected time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside work.

Why Animalius?

This is an ideal opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to deepen their anaesthesia knowledge while continuing to develop broader referral hospital skills.

You will benefit from:

• Exposure to complex and varied cases across multiple specialist disciplines
• Support from experienced specialists, veterinarians and nurses
• Daily rounds and weekly journal clubs
• Continuing education and study support
• Paid study leave
• A collaborative, education-focused environment
• A predictable six-week roster
• No weekend or public holiday shifts
• A workplace that actively minimises overtime

Whether you are considering Memberships, exploring a future anaesthesia specialty pathway or simply want to become an exceptional anaesthesia-focused hospital veterinarian, we will support you to keep learning and progressing.

We welcome applications from veterinarians with at least one year of general practice experience who are:

• Interested in anaesthesia, analgesia and perioperative patient care
• Calm, thoughtful and attentive to detail
• Motivated to develop their clinical skills
• Collaborative and team-focused
• Passionate about delivering high-quality patient care
• Registrable as a veterinarian in Western Australia
