Hey Bud Vet, Hawthorne, South-East Brisbane (posted 27th February)
Full-time Veterinary Nurse or Veterinary Technician
Have you ever dreamed of a veterinary practice that goes beyond the ordinary, a place where animals, the community, and the veterinary team unite to give pets the best life possible? We’re building exactly that, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
Our fresh, vibrant, 100% family-owned start-up in Hawthorne, Brisbane, is looking for a full-time Vet Tech/Vet Nurse to join our small but mighty team. If you’re excited about reimagining vet care, bringing warmth, creativity, and expertise to every interaction, we could be the perfect fit.
What makes us different?
We are rethinking veterinary care from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail. We believe veterinary care should be more than just medical treatment. It should be about education, advocacy, and truly understanding pets. Our clinic is a welcoming space where pets feel safe, their humans feel supported, and the community comes together to share knowledge and care.
We are embracing new ways to connect with pet parents, helping them understand and support their pets in ways that go beyond the consultation room. If you thrive in a dynamic environment, love working collaboratively, and enjoy thinking creatively about how to improve patient and care and client experience, this is an opportunity to be part of something special.
In return, we offer a workplace where you will feel valued, supported, and encouraged to grow. You will be part of a team that is dedicated to providing exceptional care and making a lasting impact.
How we work
We’re more than your typical vet clinic. Sure, we do health checks, desexings and vaccinations, but our days are anything but routine. We thrive on the tricky workup cases, the chronic conditions, the emergency surgeries, and the moments when pets (and their people) need us most. Every day is different, and every role in our team is valued.
About you:
That you’ll love animals and people goes without saying. Your other loves could be books, movies, coffee, tech devices, folk dancing, surfing, yoga or Mario Kart! We love diversity and we’ll support the person you are.
Of course you will also need:
- A Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing or Bachelor of Veterinary Technology
- Experience working in veterinary clinics
- A professional, warm and empathetic manner
- A team-player attitude with the flexibility to jump in wherever our small, dynamic team needs you
We can’t wait to see how your skills and interests will add to the vibrant culture we’re building together!
About the role:
To start, this role will be broad, giving us time to settle in and discover where your unique skills shine as we grow together. Beyond the daily rhythm of the clinic, you’ll be a key part of redefining what pet care can be, bringing fresh ideas that elevate the experience for pets, their people, and the team.
Your impact will be felt everywhere - creating a warm and supportive space for clients and pets, providing expert hospital care, and handling essential clinical tasks with skill and confidence. From admit to discharge, you’ll guide patients through their journey with empathy and expertise. You’ll take the lead on technical responsibilities like collecting blood samples, processing diagnostics, placing IV catheters, managing hospital patients, positioning for x-rays, and performing anaesthetic monitoring (spO2, ECG, BP, and capnography). Of course, the little things that keep a clinic running smoothly such as cleaning, admin, and teamwork are all part of the mix too.
In return you will enjoy:
- Starting wages $33-35.50 per hour (FTE $65,000 - 70,000 + super)
- 4 weeks annual leave (pro-rata for part-time) and an extra day off in your birthday month
- Unlimited continued professional development opportunities
- Support to grow your career and find your work-life balance
- Staff discount policy
