Why Animalius?
Our Team
We hire for values and work constantly to keep the team aligned. You can’t just call a group a team and expect everything to fall into place. Feel free to ask our staff about the benefits and experience of working in our hospital.
Our Values
We are an organisation that is not afraid to challenge dogma. We are life-long learners, solution focused and fierce in our support of our staff and referring veterinarians. If personal and professional growth are not things you want to embrace in a workplace, you will not thrive here.
What does this look like?
We have multidisciplinary rounds every day and Journal Club every week, regular morbidity and mortality, and interspecies collaborations (animals vs humans!). We are reflective, and ask, what can we do differently? We provide non-technical skills training, acknowledging high-performing teams have great social and cognitive skills. Our specialist staff are well known throughout Australia through our engagement with teaching (vets and veterinary students), resident training and our leadership positions in our industry.
We require our nursing staff to stretch and grow across multiple disciplines to expand their skills and knowledge within the hospital, providing work opportunities, and continuing education. We close the hospital and hold regular team building events, work with all staff to set goals for their professional development and assist them with the resources to achieve these.
The Workplace
Our hospital is beautiful. It was designed with an eye for aesthetics as well as function. It has dedicated workspaces for each discipline, striving for a calm environment to optimise patient and staff wellbeing, while encouraging efficient workflow. Our clients and staff love it.
Perth
This city is fantastic, and the lifestyle is enviable. Our professional colleagues are collaborative, there are plenty of jobs for partners, great schools, beaches, arts, sports and quokkas.
The Package
