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

Noosa District Animal Hospital, Noosaville, Sunshine Coast (posted 2nd October)
Veterinary Nurse Opportunity – Full time
This role would suit someone who already enjoys surgical nursing and anaesthesia, or a nurse keen to develop these skills with support and mentoring.
We believe good medicine starts with good leadership, open communication and a well-supported team. Our practice offers something a little different. With experienced veterinarians, an in-house surgeon and a high surgical caseload, our skill set sits between a traditional GP clinic and a referral hospital.
We manage most cases on site, giving our nurses exposure to a wide variety of medical and surgical cases and the opportunity to fully utilise their skills. Our practice is a nurse led team where they are involved with all aspects of running the day and allocated with specific roles to keep things organised and efficient.
We’re not interested in burnout, heroics or seeing who can stay the latest. We believe in well-staffed teams, high standards, sustainability, continuous learning and finishing on time.
What you won’t find here:
- Chronic understaffing or a “just cope” mentality.
- Cliques, favouritism or toxic culture.
- Unpaid overtime or regularly leaving late.
- Being treated as “just a nurse”.
What you will find:
- A permanent full-time position with predictable rosters.
- Protected lunch breaks and support from experienced vets and nurses.
- Exposure to advanced surgical procedures and complex medical cases.
- Genuine teamwork and leaders who listen and are accountable.
- A clinic where quality medicine, efficiency and kindness go hand in hand.
We’ve spent the last 17 years building practices differently. Many experienced nurses are exhausted by clinics that promise “supportive teams” and “we’re family” but deliver chaos and burnout.
If you want to be part of a team that values people, embraces high standards and believes work should be rewarding rather than exhausting, we’d love to hear from you.
Testimonial: Tegan previous Cert 4/surgical nurse at the previous practice--> " Dr Holly and Dr Ashley are incredible to work with. Their mentorship, compassion and dedication to client care created such a positive environment. I have learnt so much from their expertise and I would have followed them without hesitation to Noosa if I lived closer" May 2026.

Work with purpose – warning – joining us may result in never wanting to leave!
Join an award-winning group of three independent small animal hospitals in the Greater Springfield area, only 30 minutes from Brisbane.

- Continually uphold our core values and encourage other staff to do the same.
We're Looking For:
- Certificate IV, Vet Tech, or equivalent.
- Flexibility to work a variety of shifts between the hours of 7am and 9pm.
- Sound surgical, medical, and practical nursing skills with at least 2 years of hands-on industry experience.
- A genuine desire to provide excellent client service.
- A commitment to animal welfare and to the standards of our profession.
- Great interpersonal skills and a high level of emotional maturity.
- Proficiency in computer applications and software, experience with Ascend, Smartflow, VetCheck and IDEXX Machines is beneficial.

Our motto, ‘Excellence with Heart’ guides everything we do:
Thoughtful, evidence-based medicine, supported by excellent facilities and ongoing education.
- Strong, trusting relationships with the people and pets we care for, and with each other.
- Outcomes that balance heart, practicality, and long-term sustainability.
- A workplace that supports people to perform at their best.
Our core values set the standards for our behaviour, our service to pets and their guardians, and our treatment of one another.
Many of our team have been with us long-term (some for more than 15 years!), which speaks to our culture – and we protect it fiercely.
We are an ‘Employer of Choice’ accredited practice – recognising excellence in leadership.
Why You'll Love Working With Us:
- Highly competitive salary.
- Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
- A clear pathway to progress your skills and raise your salary as you grow.
- A positive, supportive, and collaborative team environment.
- Staff EAP and a dedicated and trustworthy in-house wellness team.

Animal Dermatology Specialist, Brisbane (posted 8th September) Dermatology Nurse
Veterinary Dermatology Nurse, Brisbane
Underwood | Kenmore | Albany Creek
Full time or part time | Four-day full-time week available | Weekday daytime hours | No weekends, public holidays, after-hours or on-call | $35 to $40 per hour plus 12% super and 17.5% annual leave loading
If you have nursed in dermatology before, or you are an experienced veterinary nurse curious about the field, we would like to hear from you.
Skin and ear problems are familiar to almost every veterinary nurse. In referral dermatology, you work with those cases in much greater depth, and many of the patients referred to us have complex or chronic disease that needs ongoing management rather than a single course of treatment. You may follow the same dog or cat for years, see them through flare-ups, help their owners make treatment manageable at home, and see the difference as a patient who has lived with ongoing discomfort or pain becomes comfortable again, and their owner gets their pet back.
The clinical nursing component of the role is both hands-on and technically varied, combining diagnostic work with sedation, anaesthesia and specialist procedures. As much of what we treat is long term, it is also a role built on relationships with owners and referring clinics. A clear training plan begins during onboarding and is tailored to what you already know.
The team you'll join
Dermatology is all we do. Animal Dermatology Specialist is an independently owned and operated referral practice led by Dr Evie Knight, a dual board-certified veterinary dermatologist. Our clinical team includes two specialists, a registrar, a resident and an experienced dermatology nursing team working across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Townsville.
We work alongside general practices and multidisciplinary specialist hospitals across Queensland, and they trust us with complex skin and ear cases. We are looking to expand and are recruiting nurses for this Brisbane position.
This role works across our Underwood, Kenmore and Albany Creek clinics. Your schedule will be discussed with you during the recruitment process.
What you'll do
Depending on your experience and progress through training, your work will include:
- Performing intradermal allergy testing under direction of our dermatology vets
- Initiating and managing allergen-specific immunotherapy, including rush induction protocols
- Nursing sedated and anaesthetised patients through preparation, monitoring and recovery of video otoscopy, complex ear flushing, biopsies and CO2 laser procedures
- Collecting and preparing cytology samples and helping identify common findings
- Helping owners understand and follow their pet's treatment plan, including medication and skin and ear treatments at home
Administration duties, including record keeping, bookings, updates to referring vets and GapOnly claims, are part of the role too, and we all share them.
How we'll train you
We have a structured dermatology nurse training program in place, which starts with understanding what you already know and plans your training from there. You will have time and supervision for unfamiliar work, and the skills you already have will be recognised. Training is organised around how much supervision you need: routine checking at first, then limited oversight as you take on the full range of dermatology nursing and become fluent in our systems and processes. Your pay band follows that progression.
You will work alongside an experienced and supportive dermatology nursing team who are used to bringing new nurses into the specialty. Our senior nurses each have between four and nine years of dermatology experience. If dermatology is new to you, they will take you through it step by step. If you already have dermatology experience, your onboarding will focus on our systems, equipment and the areas you would like to develop further, and you will work across the full breadth of the specialty, including rush immunotherapy, venom desensitisation and CO2 laser surgery, alongside our clinicians.
Hours and benefits
- Full-time hours are preferred for this role, and they can be worked over four or five weekdays. However, part-time arrangements with a minimum of three days per week will also be considered
- No weekend, public holiday, after-hours or on-call work.
- FIGS uniform provided
- Access to a comprehensive staff discount app covering a wide range of everyday stores
- Employee Assistance Program
- Access to colleagues trained in Mental Health First Aid
- Several other benefits we can talk through with you
Remuneration guide:
- Experienced nurse new to dermatology: $35 to $37 per hour. The step to the next band comes when you are carrying out the full range of dermatology nursing responsibilities with limited supervision and without routine checking of your work, and you are working confidently within our systems and processes. That step and its expected timing will be set out in your offer, so the general guide for your progression is provided before you start
- Specialty dermatology-experienced nurse: $38 to $40 per hour, for nurses who already work independently across dermatology nursing. The upper end is reserved for our most senior dermatology nurses, who understand our systems and processes, own an area of our clinical work or operations, and can guide and lead the development of other nurses new to dermatology across our sites
Where you start within a band depends on the dermatology and general nursing experience you bring and how much supervision you will need at the outset, and we will talk that through with you before an offer is made. Moving up is about the independence you demonstrate, not time served.
If you are a nurse who is open to working across all of our locations on a more flexible roster, let us know. It is not a requirement of the role, but a flexibility loading is paid on top of your hourly rate for as long as that arrangement is in place, and it is set out in your offer.
What we're looking for
- Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or an equivalent qualification
- Sound clinical nursing skills, with two or more years of experience preferred
- Clear, professional communication with owners, colleagues and veterinarians
- An interest in client education, which is an important part of dermatology nursing
- The organisational skills to balance procedures, nurse appointments and case administration
- A current driver's licence and willingness to work across the three clinic locations
Previous dermatology experience is welcome, but it is not required. We also welcome nurses from general practice and other referral disciplines.
How to apply
Email your CV and a few lines about why dermatology interests you to Samantha, our Nurse Manager, at careers@animalderm.com.au. A formal cover letter is not required.
We read applications as they arrive. If you would prefer to speak with Samantha before applying, call 0402 237 237 and ask for her.

Wilston Vet Surgery, Windsor, Inner North Brisbane (posted 3rd September)
Vet Nurse | Brisbane | 4-Day 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 from the ground up.
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
- 4-day working week — because five days is last century.
- Above-award salary — reflecting your experience and genuine senior-level capability.
- Rotating Saturday roster — weekends exist, but you’ll still get most of them.
- 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 12 months
- 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 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 and let’s have a confidential conversation about whether we might be the right fit for each other to: steph.dealmeida@vet.partners
We’re building something pretty special. Come help us build it.
