Your nursing skills will be fully utilised, and you’ll have the opportunity to really develop the skills you learned along the way.
If you want to:
Spend your days nursing – placing catheters, taking bloods, assessing and triaging emergencies, monitoring anaesthesia, taking dental xrays and developing your nursing skills - we would love to welcome you to our team. Our vets rely on a strong nursing team – you’ll be focussed on patient care and medicine and surgery.
Our hospital has all the tools and toys you need to do your job, and a few lovely extras. We have all the usual: Ultrasound, Digital xrays, Dental xrays, Dental suite, Anitek monitors, Darvall air warmers and Anaesthesia air warmers, Smartflow electronic white board, multiple IV pumps, Idexx lab in house, and a beautiful clean work environment. Our hospital is spacious and designed for you to be able to do your job in a really nice environment.
We do a lot of routine surgeries each day and we also have emergencies pretty much every day. Our case load is incredibly varied - we see snake bites, a lot of wildlife, and lots of routine things as well. Our vets have special interest in Dentistry and Surgery. We have visiting specialist surgeons for complex orthopaedic work as well as ophthalmology surgery.
As the only vet hospital in our area, we probably see more than our fair share of emergencies and trauma in our patients. This means that applicants who may have been bored by the day-to-day routine in many city practices will thrive working with our cases. You really do get to use all of your nursing skills here at our hospital.
Some reception work but it is shared evenly amongst the nursing team, there is no after hours and Sundays and one in three Saturdays. We pay above the award and we are open to negotiate pay rates dependant on the experience you bring to the role.
We currently use Ezyvet cloud-based software and outsource most of our reminders etc. This allows us to concentrate on our veterinary duties.
If you feel you have the skills or can develop the skills to work in a fast paced and varied hospital, please send us your resume.
We would love to hear from you.
Please send a cover letter and resume to Dr Sam: manager@yanchepvet.com.au Web: www.yanchepvet.com.au
Wanneroo Veterinary Hospital, Northern Perth, WA (posted 14th January) Sundays
Veterinary nurse – Part Time (Sundays)
What does it mean to be a vital cog in a well-oiled machine?
It means everything.
The most sophisticated operation cannot function to the highest level if it is missing an essential piece of the puzzle. The operation that is Wanneroo Veterinary Hospital strives to provide a 7 day a week service to our clients and their furry companions.
However, due to our wonderful Sunday Vet Nurses leaving to pursue a promotion at a specialist centre, we have lost one of our vital cogs.
We are looking for a good natured and organised individual to perform a “Sunday Service” - reception and/or vet nursing - we open Sundays for a 3 hour consulting service to provide our clientele with the re-assurance of 7-days-a-week care.
This role is not a surgical role, it is 100% consultation and customer service role. Primary consults, bandage changes, some vaccinations and occasional Sunday morning emergencies. All very important to our clients, and to the Wanneroo Veterinary Hospital team.
Opening Sundays gets our regular week off to a smooth start, so we have less “surprises” on Monday morning.
It is such an important piece of OUR puzzle.
We are offering well above the Animal Welfare WA award with Sunday rates for the right candidate.
You will be supported by a second veterinary nurse and our Sunday Veterinarian, familiar with the finer details of our hospital’s operations. You will be joining a grateful and supportive team in a progressive vet hospital. You will be seeing equally grateful clients who appreciate the Sunday Service that we provide so much.
If this is of interest to you – please drop Steve or Debra an email at vetnursewanneroo@hotmail.com
We would love to hear from you.

- The opportunity to work in a brand-new facility at City Beach (hopefully finished early 2025) and our Forrestdale facility that is only 6 years old
