Each new graduate vet brings a unique set of skills and strengths to the Anexa team. We want our staff to thrive. We do this by encouraging them to follow their passions, and creating an environment that develops clinical, communication and life skills.

Every vet working at Anexa, whether they joined us as a new graduate or as a more experienced vet, can shape their individual role allowing them to follow their passions and develop areas of expertise. Whether through providing mentorship and training to colleagues and veterinary students, leading or contributing to special interest working groups, collaborating with our research team, undertaking further study or coming up with something completely new, vets can develop a varied and rewarding career at Anexa.

We enable growth by ensuring each new graduate employed at Anexa Vets has a supportive team to work alongside and offer the following career development programmes and resources:

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Anexa Vets are given the opportunity to carry out both internal and external Continuing Professional Development. We encourage our vets to develop specific areas of interest and support our vets to achieve qualifications that will further their careers and knowledge base. A large number of our vets are Accredited DairyNZ Body Condition Score Assessors, InCalf advisers and Accredited Advanced Mastitis advisers.

Access to a vast amount of knowledge and an internal lab

At Anexa, the team run working groups. These groups focus on one particular interest and keep the Anexa team up to date with the latest research and knowledge. Our new graduates also have access to the Cognosco lab team to support them interpreting results and filling any knowledge or experience gaps.

Why consider joining the Anexa team? Here’s what our team have to say:

At Anexa, our staff enjoy a caring culture with many opportunities to grow and develop their professional skills.
“Attached lab and Cognosco!!! Think it’s one of the key qualities that sets Anexa apart from other businesses – allows for the use of best practise and up to date information to guide our clinical decisions. Ali and Yvette our Lab Technicians, are more than happy to talk to you about results or help teach which is really cool.”
“Good sort farmers – on the whole the farmers we work with are really nice people and are often keen to give most of the treatments you suggest a go.”
“The ability to develop and grow trust and strong relationships with the farmers has been one of the most fulfilling things about working for Anexa. I feel part of this is personal, but I feel the farmers generally have been very easy to get onside from the get-go.”
“Mighty Waikato – anything you could want within an hour drive, if not less.”
“Progression of new grad skill set – constantly acquiring new skills and gaining clinical confidence. Good balance of getting help but also being pushed out of our comfort zone.”
“A lot of our colleagues really want to help us learn – also another bonus of being part of a large team you are able to phone lots of different vets if you can’t reach the vets in your clinic for advice.”
“Support – big team with varied and lots of experience. We have enjoyed working out of the ‘hub’ clinic – feel very connected and really advantageous for learning small animal stuff. Also Friday afternoon catch ups is a nice way to lead into the weekend – chance to debrief and you get to chat to some of the team you might not normally have a lot to do with.”
“On call is something I don’t mind doing, I grew to resent it in my old job for a few reasons: The phone was directly through to me, the rota was a lot more frequent, and it was incorporated into the salary so felt like it was not worth anything”
“Having a large pool of vets is good in the sense that there is so many years of experience to draw on absolutely anything you come across so a great support network.”

“Dedicated CEO and leadership team that send out regular emails 😊  – feel as though everyone is approachable.”
