Swaraj Shere, Gold Coast, QLD OR Australia-Wide (posted 10th June) Trainee Vet Nurse Requiring Sponsorship

Hello Everyone, my name is Swaraj Shere and I am currently studying Certificate 4 in Veterinary Nursing at TAFE Ashmore QLD which is due for completion by 26th June 2025.

I completed Certificate 3 in Animal Care Services in June 2024 and begun my work placement on 9th August 2024.

Availability
I am looking for Full-Time Vet Nurse Job and ready to start from 30th June 2025.

I am on my student visa, so would need to be sponsored under 407 Training Visa as that’s a requirement for me. Alternatively 482 Visa is also a possibility.

Experience
I have currently completed about 635 hrs at the clinic. I go 2 days a week - 15.5hrs (Wednesday 9.5hrs & Saturday 6 hrs) and used to go 3 days a week - 25hrs (January to April) for extra experience. I handle TPR, anaesthetic monitoring with surgery preparation and skin preparation, surgery support, blood collection and running tests, IV catheter placement, other pathology work, dental scale and polish, making drapes & kits, restraining patients for ultrasound, and Xrays. Lastly cleaning and closing in duties. I have done basic reception duties but I am sure I can adapt further with experience & I can provide nursing support by utilising my skills I have gained so far during my placement.

I also hold a Bachelors Degree in Animal & Veterinary Bioscience studied at La Trobe University Melbourne (2018-20).

Location
I currently reside in Gold Coast but flexible to relocating to any part of Australia for the right opportunity.
