Remuneration: $26.44–$37.00 per hour, depending on qualifications, skills and experience.
We're looking for a couple of great people to join our nursing team at Companion Vet Care.
Ideally, we'd love to find an experienced veterinary nurse who can bring knowledge, confidence and leadership to the team, as well as a junior nurse or trainee who is enthusiastic about developing their skills and building a career in veterinary nursing.
But more importantly, we're looking for the right people. Whether you've been nursing for 10 years or are just starting out, we'd like to hear from you.
A little about us
Companion Vet Care is a privately owned small animal practice in North Lakes, with a great reputation and a close-knit team of vets, nurses and support staff.
We have a well-equipped, modern practice, a steady and varied general practice caseload, access to visiting specialists and a nearby emergency and specialist centre.
We take pride in the standard of veterinary care we provide, particularly when it comes to anaesthesia, patient monitoring and nursing care. We also believe that a good workplace should be somewhere people enjoy turning up to each day.
What's important to us?
There are three things that really matter to us.
Our patients. We're animal lovers first and foremost. The reason we turn up every day is to make a difference to the lives of the pets in our community. We take that responsibility seriously.
Our team. Veterinary practice can be challenging. Some days are busy, stressful and don't go to plan. Having a team that supports one another, communicates well and pulls together makes all the difference. Equally, we want people who can have a laugh and enjoy working alongside each other.
Our clients. They're our other people. Some are wonderful, some can be challenging, but most genuinely want the best for their pets. Building lasting relationships with our clients is an important part of what we do.
Who are we looking for?
We're recruiting across two levels of experience.
Experienced Veterinary Nurse
We're looking for someone who is confident in their nursing skills, particularly anaesthesia, patient monitoring and animal handling.
Ideally, you'll have a strong interest in these areas, along with the experience and judgement that comes from spending time in a busy veterinary practice.
We'd also love someone who enjoys helping less experienced nurses develop their skills.
You don't need to be a formal educator, just someone who is approachable, communicates well and is happy to share their knowledge.
Junior Veterinary Nurse or Trainee
You might be studying towards your Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, have recently qualified, or be looking for an opportunity to start your career.
We're not expecting you to know everything. What we do expect is enthusiasm, a genuine interest in animal care and a willingness to learn.
You'll be working alongside experienced veterinary professionals who can help you develop your confidence, practical skills and understanding of what good veterinary nursing looks like.
What matters regardless of experience?
We're looking for people who:
- Genuinely care about animals and the standard of care they receive.
- Take pride in their work and pay attention to the details.
- Communicate well with colleagues and clients.
- Are reliable, punctual and willing to contribute to the team.
- Want to keep learning and improving their skills.
- Have a positive attitude and are enjoyable to work with.
Experience and qualifications are important, but attitude, reliability and the ability to work well with others matter just as much.
What can we offer?
- $26.44–$37.00 per hour, depending on qualifications, skills and experience, with applicable casual loading and penalty rates paid separately.
- A privately owned practice where people are valued as individuals.
- A friendly, experienced and supportive team.
- Modern facilities and equipment.
- A varied small animal caseload.
- Opportunities to develop your nursing skills and further your knowledge.
- Mentorship and support for nurses undertaking formal studies.
- Flexible employment arrangements depending on experience and the position.
The experienced nursing position is expected to be around 3–4 days per week, including approximately one Saturday morning in four.
For the junior or trainee position, we're open to discussing hours and employment arrangements with suitable applicants.
Interested?
If you think Companion Vet Care sounds like somewhere you'd enjoy working, we'd love to hear from you.
Please send your CV and a short cover letter outlining your experience, what you're looking for in your next role and why you think you'd be a good fit for our team.
If you're a junior or trainee, we'd also be interested to hear what you're hoping to achieve over the next 12 months.

Wilston Vet Surgery, Windsor, Inner North Brisbane (posted 6th October) 19 hour week
Vet Nurse | Brisbane | Part-Time (19 Hours Per Week)
We're not looking for someone to fill a seat. We're looking for someone who wants to help build something.
We're a Brisbane GP veterinary clinic in an exciting stage of growth — building a team, refining how we work, and creating a practice we can be genuinely proud of for the long term.
We're growing our team, developing our systems, investing in our equipment and creating a practice where great patient care and great people can genuinely coexist.
And we're looking for a Vet Nurse who wants to be part of that journey.
This is a 19-hour-per-week part-time role designed for someone who wants meaningful work, a supportive team environment and the opportunity to genuinely contribute — without needing to commit to a traditional full-time schedule.
This isn't a role where you'll simply turn up, do what you're told and go home.
We want someone who brings experience, confidence, ideas and initiative. Someone who cares about doing things well, enjoys being part of a team and wants to have a genuine voice in how we continue to build the practice.
Our Head Nurse is highly experienced across both GP and emergency nursing, with particular strength in anaesthesia. She's the kind of person who will genuinely invest in you, share her knowledge and support your development.
What we offer
- Part-time hours — 19 hours per week with a focus on quality work and sustainable balance.
- A supportive roster — designed to provide consistency while respecting life outside work.
- Paid public holidays — because everyone deserves a public holiday.
- Very limited overtime — we're honest that occasionally the day runs over, but it's actively managed rather than treated as "just part of vet nursing". With emergency clinics nearby, after-hours pressure doesn't fall on you.
- Free CPD — including online access and a dedicated training facility.
- Meaningful staff pet discounts — actually meaningful. Not 10% off a bag of kibble.
- Real scope of practice — nurse-led consults, clinical input, protocol development and opportunities to build your skills.
- A practice manager who genuinely prioritises staff wellbeing — not as a poster on the wall, but in the decisions we make.
- Wraparound support — from your Practice Manager, Lead Vet, Head Nurse and wider team. You won't be left to figure things out alone.
- A chance to help shape the practice — your experience and ideas will actually influence how we grow.
Who are we looking for?
We're looking for someone who:
- Has 2+ years of qualified GP veterinary nursing experience
- Is confident working independently
- Has solid clinical nursing skills and enjoys using them
- Is comfortable with anaesthesia, surgery, hospital nursing and general GP duties
- Communicates brilliantly with clients, vets and other nurses
- Enjoys mentoring and supporting junior team members
- Takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about patient outcomes
- Is proactive and happy to take ownership
- Isn't afraid to ask questions or challenge the status quo
- Actively contributes ideas and isn't afraid to say, "What if we did this differently?"
- Wants to build something for the long term rather than simply looking for the next role
- Cares about being part of a team and contributing to the wider community
You don't need to know everything. You just need to be someone who wants to keep learning, contribute, and make things better.
A word on culture
We're not perfect — and we'll say that plainly.
We're a newer team deliberately building for long-term success. That means we're still refining, still improving, still figuring some things out and genuinely open to being made better by the right people.
And honestly, we like that.
We want people who are comfortable saying:
"What if we tried this?"
"I think we could do that better."
"Have we considered…?"
Because the right person joining us won't just slot into the team. They'll help shape it.
If you get energy from that kind of environment, we'd love to hear from you.
Ready to be part of it?
If you're a Vet Nurse looking for a part-time role where you can use your skills, have a voice, develop your career and actually help shape the practice around you, we'd genuinely love to hear from you.
Apply with your updated resume by emailing Steph on steph.dealmeida@vet.partners
We're building something pretty special. Come help us build it.
