Restrictions
Wellsford Vet Club is located in the North Auckland region and services the surrounding region. We have a varied case load serving our various farms, lifestyle blocks and small animal clients. We are a relatively small club, with one site in Wellsford, but cover an area from Warkworth to Kaiwaka and from the East coast to the West. The clinic offers a genuine opportunity to see mixed practice with over 50 dairy farms on our books while maintaining a busy small animal surgery each day.
Being a club practice, we have a deep connection to our rural community, and thus successful applicants will need to show a genuine interest in production animal practice.
