RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking for a veterinary colleague who can strengthen our team at District Veterinarians in Gävle while one of our employees is on leave. District Veterinarians Gävle is a clinic with great opportunities for development in areas of interest. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in horses or small animals. We already have good competence in small animals, farm animals, and many aspects of equine activities. The role involves approximately 2-5 days of clinical work per week or on-call duty (evenings and weekends) where all animal species may appear.

We are a good team that is happy to support each other and answer questions. Today, we have 13 employees of mixed ages: nine veterinarians, one veterinary nurse, and three animal caretakers. You thrive in a team environment, contribute to the development of efficient and smart working methods, and want to be involved in maintaining our capacity and continuing to develop our customer base. We have good cooperation with surrounding districts, and if you need to consult someone else who is on duty during evenings/weekends/night shifts, there is always someone available.

Since on-call duty is a natural part of our services, you must have the willingness to work with and maintain competence in all existing animal species. You find the variety as a District Veterinarian attractive, and beyond that, there are opportunities for development, especially within a specific special interest. We work continuously with competence development, and we see your professional growth as our best investment.
