We understand that veterinary nursing can be challenging, so having colleagues you can rely on makes all the difference. You'll be joining a team where questions are encouraged, knowledge is shared, support is always close by and nobody is expected to do it all alone.
We want you to feel comfortable asking for help, confident to share your ideas and excited to come to work.
We work hard, look after each other and genuinely enjoy being part of this team.

Pinjarra Veterinary Hospital, Murray River, Western WA (posted 29th October) 2 x Vet Nurses
Experienced Veterinary Nurses
Pinjarra Veterinary Hospital | Western Australia
Two positions available
Bring your clinical skills. Contribute your ideas. Help shape exceptional care.
You know how much difference excellent nursing makes.
It is recognising a subtle change in a patient, preparing thoughtfully for an anaesthetic, anticipating what the team will need and helping an owner feel confident taking their pet home.
It is clinical knowledge, careful observation and reliable follow-through - and we value the people who bring those qualities to their work.
At Pinjarra Veterinary Hospital, we are seeking two experienced veterinary nurses who want to contribute their skills, keep developing and help shape our next chapter.
Care built on a strong team
We are an independently owned small animal practice with longstanding connections to our local community.
Our purpose is to help dogs and cats live healthier, happier lives through compassionate, evidence-based care, informed clients and a team that keeps learning.
Nurses are central to delivering that purpose. Your observations, patient advocacy and communication help turn a treatment plan into consistent, attentive care.
We want you to take pride in your contribution and feel comfortable asking questions, raising concerns and suggesting improvements.
Bring your experience - and help improve how we work
Over the next two years, our priorities include strengthening our Standards of Care, improving continuity across the patient journey, developing our people and expanding proactive care.
For our nursing team, this means contributing to clear, consistent approaches to preparation, anaesthesia, recovery, inpatient care, infection prevention and discharge.
We welcome experienced nurses who can identify what needs attention, act within their responsibilities and work with colleagues to make improvements.
Your role will include, according to your competence and agreed responsibilities:
- Preparing patients, equipment and clinical areas for procedures.
- Monitoring anaesthesia and supporting safe, comfortable recovery.
- Delivering attentive inpatient nursing and promptly escalating changes or concerns.
- Supporting dentistry, imaging and diagnostic procedures.
- Maintaining accurate records, treatment updates and clear handovers.
- Helping clients understand home care and follow-up instructions.
- Supporting infection prevention, equipment care and an organised clinical workflow.
We value thoughtful initiative: anticipating needs, communicating priorities and following tasks through to completion.
Share what you know—and keep growing yourself
Our team includes experienced clinicians, early-career veterinarians and trainee nurses.
If you enjoy teaching, there is an opportunity to help trainees develop sound nursing skills, explain the reasoning behind your work and model calm, reliable clinical habits.
Experienced nurses also make a valuable contribution as new veterinarians learn to work effectively with the nursing team. Veterinary clinical supervision and decisions remain with the responsible veterinarian.
Any teaching responsibilities will be discussed alongside your clinical workload, experience and the support required.
Your own development matters too. Perhaps you want to deepen your skills in anaesthesia, dentistry or inpatient care, contribute to client education, or explore training and leadership.
We would like to understand what interests you and discuss how that could develop at Pinjarra.
What we value in an experienced colleague
You will suit our team if you:
- Combine sound clinical skills with compassionate patient handling.
- Recognise changes, communicate concerns clearly and seek help appropriately.
- Take responsibility for your work, records and handovers.
- Prioritise thoughtfully and help the team maintain a safe, organised workflow.
- Treat clients and colleagues with patience and respect.
- Welcome feedback and contribute practical solutions.
- Enjoy sharing knowledge while remaining open to learning from others.
You will need a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or recognised equivalent, relevant practical experience, and the registration required to practise as a veterinary nurse in Western Australia.
Our values guide how we work
Passionate: We care deeply about our patients, clients and colleagues.
Accountable: We take ownership, communicate honestly and follow through.
Welcoming: We create a warm, inclusive environment where people feel respected, valued and comfortable asking for help.
Skilled: We keep learning, work within our competence and share our knowledge.
We want a team where people support one another, speak up for patients and take pride in doing their work well.
What do you want your next chapter to look like?
I'm Susan, the owner of Pinjarra Veterinary Hospital. I know the difference capable, thoughtful nurses make to patients, clients and the whole clinical team.
By this stage in your career, you may have a clearer understanding of the nursing you enjoy, the environment in which you thrive and what you would like to develop next.
I would love to hear what that looks like for you.
Perhaps you want to deepen a clinical interest, help train others, contribute to nursing standards or explore a working pattern that supports your life outside practice.
Bring your experience, your aspirations and an honest understanding of what matters to you. Together, we can explore how your goals and the future of Pinjarra could align, including responsibilities, development, working arrangements and remuneration.
You do not need a polished cover letter to start the conversation. Email or text me with a little about yourself, what you would bring to our team and what you are looking for in your next nursing role.

We exist today because thousands of WA pet owners have been delighted with the compassion we provide to them and the care we provide to their special companions. Our team is made up of people that truly love animals, and have dedicated their working careers to a high standard of veterinary medicine.
We have purpose-built facilities across Perth reaching to Mandurah, with an extensive range of diagnostic equipment and a commitment to continuous improvement, namely the medical treatment and care of pets, the working conditions of our team, the service we provide to our clients, and promoting responsible pet ownership in the community.
At Vetwest Currambine, we don't just talk about high standards — we live them. From complex orthopaedic surgeries (including TPLOs!) to laparoscopic procedures and non-invasive endoscopies, our clinic is a hub of innovation and compassionate care.
What you'll find here:
- A spacious, modern hospital with 5 consult rooms, 2 theatres, a dental suite, and a large treatment area.
- A dedicated cat consult room and feline-friendly waiting area.
- A rotating roster that promotes work-life balance.
- An experienced, collaborative team that loves what they do and supports each other every step of the way.
What it will be like for you
The key to most great clinics are the staff, and Vet Nurses who are able to act like an animal whisperer are what every pet owner wants. The ability to calm a furry friend that is in distress and keep them calm is one of those skills that reassures not just the patient, but the pet-parents and the Vets alike.
That's really what we are looking for in this role, and we admit it's a high bar – but that is what makes our clinic a great place to work. We are pets first, with their family a very close second.
Our nursing team are passionate about a positive learning environment and we try to make sure our nurses are highly skilled, and provides a tonne of support and opportunities to upskill so you have to be ready for that.
It's this attitude we can't teach, but we are happy to teach other aspects of the role – we do have some requirements for the role though;
- We need someone 40 hours a week
- Have their Cert IV in Vet Nursing with some experience
- Be able to keep the clinic neat and tidy
- Help our Vets and from time to time help out with some admin tasks
How you can get in touch
If this sounds like a place you could see yourself working, or want a bit more information before you can make that decision, reach out to me on joseph.friend@vetpartners.com.au – if you have already made your mind up though, apply or send me your email address and we can take it from there.
