Vet Jobs: VetStaff is New Zealand’s only specialist veterinary recruitment agency – helping vets, vet nurses and vet techs find vet jobs they love getting out of bed for on Monday mornings!

British Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) Lucy Broad came to New Zealand to experience life in New Zealand veterinary clinics and have a memorable working holiday.

As she shared in her video – we helped her every step of the way – even before she’d left the United Kingdom.

Tania Bruce – one of VetStaff’s Specialist Veterinary Recruiters (and also a former Head Orthopaedic Veterinary Nurse), liaised with Lucy – finding out exactly where she wanted to be and when so that Lucy could relax knowing we had her back so she could have the kiwi working holiday of her dreams.

If you’re planning to move to New Zealand – for a working holiday or to move here permanently – then please get in touch with us.  Because we’re NZs only specialist veterinary recruitment agency in New Zealand, no one else knows (or loves!) New Zealand like the VetStaff team does!

How do recruitment agencies work?

For Vets, Vet Nurses and Vet Techs who’re looking for their next vet clinic job

Free service for job seekers

Yes!  You read that correct.  It’s 100% free (no charge whatsoever) for vets, vet nurses or vet techs to use VetStaff to help you find your next dream job.

How do we earn our living and stay in business, you might be asking.   Vet clinics pay us to help them find great veterinary professionals.  Our fantastic clients use our services again and again (so we’re obviously doing something right, right?).

Exploratory discussion 

We’re happy to answer any of your vet clinic job type questions.   If you’re in NZ you can call us toll free on 0800 483 869.   Send us an email.  Or WhatsApp text message on +6427 282 4155.

You can also start the ball rolling by completing the registration form.   As soon as we receive this one of us will be in touch with you.

We’ll contact you either by email or phone in the first instance.   This will involve a quick chat to see where you’re at with your job hunting and whether we can help you (or not).

Just so you know, completing our online form in no way commits you.   It only takes a couple of minutes of your time and gives us more info about you.

Locum, Permanent (full and part time) Vet Jobs

VetStaff is what’s known as a full service recruitment agency.   This means we work across the spectrum of permanent and locum positions.

We have vet clinic clients registered with us from Kaitaia (in the Far North) to Bluff (in Southland) and everywhere in between.

Whether you’re looking for a Companion (small) Animal, Mixed Animal, Large (production) Animal, Equine or Exotic veterinary job, it doesn’t matter.   We have vacancies across all species, in all types of clinics (independent and privately owned clinics through to offshore multinational corporate clinics).

Full Service Recruitment Agency

We’re what’s known as a full service recruitment agency. 

This means we work with job seekers (candidates) from start to finish.

We promise not to bulk-spray your CV to all our vet clinic clients.  In fact, we’ll only recommend vet jobs to you where we believe the cultural fit is right for you and the clinic.

How do we know this?

Because we invest a lot of time (hours) in getting to know you, what’s important to you and what you want.

With us on your team, you’re guaranteed to get the absolute best possible job offer – one that matches your needs.   We negotiate on your behalf.

Because negotiating is another day in the office for us, we like to think we’re good at it.   Our experience is that most job seekers don’t like negotiating for themselves very much and most likely end up selling themselves short.

We will not sell you short!  We believe every veterinary professional deserves to work in a job where they’re excited about turning up for work on Monday mornings!

It’s what we do and we’re good at it!

Full Service Recruitment Agency

We’re what’s known as a full service recruitment agency. 

This means we work with job seekers and clinics from start to finish.

We promise to only send you candidates we believe will be a good fit for your clinic.   How can we make this promise?   Because not only have we interviewed, reference and background checked all our candidates, we take the time to get to know your clinic as well.

Because we do so much (ie, provide the full recruitment service) it means you can focus on doing what your primary job is (which probably isn’t recruitment!) at your clinic.
