JOB RESPONSIBILITIES For our clinic in Stenungsund, we are looking for a field veterinarian interested in working broadly in our field operations. As a veterinarian, you will participate in on-call work. During on-call duties, emergency care for all types of animals occurs, such as wound injuries, colic, and deliveries. When you join us as a new employee, we ensure you have a smooth start regarding on-call duties, and you will have the opportunity to accompany the types of visits you may feel uncertain about. During regular clinic hours, we handle everything from lameness investigations, internal medicine examinations, dental treatments, castrations, and inspections on horses. Within farm animals, we largely work with emergency care as well as castrations, dehorning, and sampling. At our small animal clinic, we perform investigations, surgeries, and dental treatments. Our equine clinic is well-equipped with access to endoscopy/gastroscopy, X-ray, ultrasound, shock wave therapy, and objective movement analysis systems for horses (Lameness locator and Sleip). In addition to our clinic X-ray, we also have a direct digital X-ray used in field operations and an ultrasound for field use. There are blood analysis machines in a small lab. At our clinic, we continuously work on the work environment. This includes three of us sharing weekend on-call duties. On weekdays, you start your on-call shift at 12:00, and the next day you have 3 hours of administration scheduled to complete your records. Once finished, you are done for the day. We also try to get help from our nurses regarding vehicle restocking and cleaning. QUALIFICATIONS You are a veterinarian with Swedish veterinary credentials.
