About us
North Shore Veterinary Specialist Centre was established in 2001 and is co-located with North Shore Veterinary Hospital. NSVH was started in 1935 and is the oldest veterinary hospital on the North Shore of Sydney. We are a 24/7, 365 day a year facility with specialists in surgery, emergency & critical care, internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, ophthalmology, dermatology, a bustling emergency department and a progressive general practice.

In 2019 we moved to a brand-new state-of-the-art facility, offering four custom designed theatres, one of which is dedicated to orthopaedic surgery and another to soft tissue surgery. We can perform fluoroscopic studies either in our theatres or within our radiology suite. We have full in-house laboratory facilities, comprehensive diagnostic imaging including two ultrasound rooms, digital X-ray, a 128 Slice GE CT scanner, and in January 2022 a brand-new Siemen 1.5T MRI facility. The facility has been purposed designed and associated with a 5th theatre design for minimally invasive procedure.

Our surgical team work closely with our ECC, internal medicine and imaging services to ensure the best quality of care is provided to our patients. We also offer a veterinary rehabilitation service as an adjunct to the surgical service, providing optimal patient care from start to finish.

We also have two surgical interns, and a team of specialist trained surgical nurses who have many years of experience in anaesthesia nursing, as surgical assistants and radiology nurses, and providing a very high standard of in-patient care.

In this role, you will provide a specialist referral surgical service to our referring clinics from across Sydney and NSW. We aim for clinical excellence within a working environment that promotes and encourages collegiality and communication. While this is a permanent opportunity for employment, we are open to conversations about short or long-term contracts.

You are welcome to email us for more information about this, or you can refer directly to the guidelines of the Veterinary Practitioners Board of NSW. Applications from residency trained candidates will also be considered.

Above all, we value someone who is a team player, committed to our clients, patients and referring veterinary clinics, and is keen to be a part of our specialist team.
