WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.) has been rescuing and caring for wildlife for more than 35 years and is the largest wildlife rescue organisation in Australia. WIRES has over 3,000 volunteers in 28 NSW branches involved in the rescue and care of wildlife, and we have a dedicated Rescue Office that operates 24/7, 365 days a year assisting the community to help native animals in distress.

There is an exciting opportunity for a passionate, experienced wildlife Veterinarian to join our team and support our mission to actively rehabilitate and preserve Australian wildlife.
With over 3,000 volunteers across 28 branches, we receive around 170,000 calls annually and provide rescue advice and assistance for tens of thousands of native animals. We are the largest wildlife rescue organisation in Australia and play a major role in national community wildlife education.
This is a support role dedicated to improving our capacity to provide fast, professional, emergency rescue services and best practice rehabilitation for wildlife, by working closely with the team to develop our wildlife training.
If you are passionate about improving outcomes for native animals, supporting and educating volunteer wildlife carers and excited about innovation alongside best practice methodology then please apply.
