Aaron Morden, Sydney's Hills District & Surrounds, NSW (posted 24th April) Qualified & Experienced Vet Nurse/Tech

Bachelor of Veterinary Technology (cert IV inclusive) 

I graduated from Charles Sturt University in 2022 and since March of 2023, I have been working full time at the Sydney University Veterinary teaching hospital as a small animal nurse. Coming into this role, I was able to focus and practice my skills at a gold standard, particularly in the anaesthetic and surgical process of routine procedures while teaching and working with DVM students and Veterinary lecturers respectively. I found a great enjoyment in teaching as it helped me continue to learn and push to be a useful asset and team member. 

As maternity leave cover, I will soon see my hours reduced so am excitedly looking to continue working within the industry, to build on my qualifications and knowledge to become a highly skilled and multifaceted professional. 
While the majority of my experience is in small animals, I have great interest in expanding into other areas. 

Based in Sydney (Hills Shire). 

Available for part time work from May 2024, open to expansion from there.

Looking forward to hearing from you, 

Aaron Morden

Adrien, Adelaide & Surrounds, SA (posted 22nd April) Overseas Qualified Vet Seeking Vet Nurse Position

Hi,
I am Adrien, a veterinarian  qualified in Brazil with up 3 years of experience providing animal care and team work. After I get my veterinarian degree I worked as a veterinary assistant, where during my 2 years and 8 months of experience I was involved in nursing roles: preoperative and postoperative care, medicating patients, IV catheter placement, customer service and stock checklist. In addition, I was responsible for animal restraint and handling, to prepare animals to surgery, assist in dogs and cats’ de-sexing surgeries and other tasks and skills, learning a lot about assisting in surgeries and clinical cases. I enjoyed my position and I did my best while I was in the company, always being friendly with animals and its owners.

I worked as a self-employed  veterinarian as well, what added me experiences in clinical and surgical procedures in small and large animals, including livestock.

I am continuing to better myself and looking for a new opportunity to return to veterinary field and do what I love most – animal care. However, I cannot work as a veterinarian in Australia yet because I still need to recognise my veterinarian qualification, so I am looking for an opportunity in my professional field, as a pet or livestock veterinary nurse or assistant, to work hard and learn even more with the team and to be able to grow professionally, helping with everything it is possible while I am preparing myself to the Australian Veterinary Examination.

Skills:

At the moment I am under Student Visa rules, but planning to get a more suitable visa soon. I am available in Adelaide and South Australia area, during whole week.

Please, contact me by e-mail or mobile phone:
adrien_nc@hotmail.com
0491 741 386

I am looking forward to it.

Gemma, South-East Melbourne, VIC (posted 17th April) Trainee Vet Nurse

Hi,

My name is Gemma and I'm looking for a possible position as a vet nurse trainee or a day as a placement student.
I am currently on a waitlist for the Certificate IV in Vet Nursing course, starting July 2024, and will require a letter of support if you're willing to take me on.

I have 11 years experience as an animal attendant, starting as a volunteer at an animal welfare organisation before moving into boarding kennels and catterys and completing a Certificate III in Captive Animals. 

In my current position as an animal attendant in an animal shelter, I have perfected my animal handling techniques and have had the opportunity to help our vet clinic team handle the more difficult animals that had trust in me.

Part of my daily tasks here are administrating medications and making observations on animal health and welfare, amongst the everyday cleaning.

I am highly trained in animal behavioural signs and feel confident with the most difficult animals in our shelter, often being called on to help move certain dogs/cats/rabbits/birds/livestock.

As mentioned, I am currently on the waitlist for enrolment and I am eager to take the next steps in my career. Hoping to gain hands-on experience with a trainee position with my current experience but am excited for any opportunity to learn and grow.

Thank you for your time.
