The Vet Lounge Ormeau, Gold Coast (posted 25th October) Head Nurse/Team Leader
Head Nurse / Team Leader
Normally, in the first few lines of a job advert, you’d read some rabbiting on about how awesome our facility is and how we provide the highest standards of client and patient care. Not this time. While those things are essential, there’s something else more important. THE PEOPLE you work with.
So to introduce you to us, I’m going to lead with a personal note that our Vet Director Dr Andres shared with all the nursing team on Vet Nurse Day. This is reflective of what our vets at The Vet Lounge think of Veterinary Nurses.
‘I look back to the very early days of being a Vet. From placing a catheter to performing surgeries. I learned more from nurses than I did from Vets. That ability to multitask, organise and think outside the box is incredible. You put everything and everyone first and that is a unique way of living. The level of compassion, empathy and love for your patients and their parents is enviable. Skipping lunch, getting soiled, bitten, scratched, dealing with disgruntled people, having to look after, clean after, console, guide, support and sometimes even think for us vets. Even when it sometimes feels one sided. You guys are the foundation, the strength and the real talent. You should know this, and you should be proud. You are all truly amazing. I sincerely hope you all know this. Happy Vet Nurse Day!’.
Who are we?
The Vet Lounge! We have 3 locations - Ormeau, Coomera & Currumbin and we’re well known for these 3 things;
- Providing excellent patient care in high quality facilities
- Providing excellent client care and respect for our clients (because they are truly great!). We have a 4.9 star Google rating!
- Providing all staff with a positive, supportive & respectful working environment. You won’t find toxicity in the workplace here. 😊
Position Location?
Ormeau on the Gold Coast. It’s a great location, central to both the Southern suburbs of Brisbane and Northern suburbs of the Gold Coast. We’re only 2 minutes off the M1, so very easy to get to!
Who we need
A Full-Time, Head Veterinary Nurse / Team Leader, to join our team of 2 vets & 5 nurses.
What does the position entail?
- Taking morning rounds and setting up the day positively. Planning is essential!
- Studying the appointment schedular and if necessary, moving things around to ensure the day runs smoothly. We all know an emergency or unexpected hospital admit can throw the day! We need someone who can step up and lead the team when faced with a curve ball!
- Recognising if anyone is under pressure and doing what is necessary to support them (our teams mental and emotional health is important).
- Assist with reception and administration tasks.
- Making sure our clients feel valued and respected! Ormeau is a close-knit community and we are their community vet. Good service is essential.
- Provide support to veterinarians in all aspects of veterinary nursing, including nurse consulting.
- Ability to uncover and fix any operational issues, including developing procedures and new protocols.
- Direct junior staff to ensure there is always a high level of cleanliness in the practice.
The perfect person for our team will;
Hold a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and have a minimum of 2 years’ nursing experience (previous management, or leadership experience a huge advantage!).
- Have experience with RX Works (not essential).
- Possess a high level of Emotional Intelligence and Maturity.
- Have excellent communication skills and confidence to have difficult conversations.
- Have a passion to be the best practice in the area, which means setting a great example across all areas of your work.
Roster: Mostly weekdays with the very occasional Saturday (if required).
Pay: Negotiable, depending on experience

If you are an ECC Vet Nurse looking to move into a new position OR/ if you are an experienced GP vet nurse who loves a challenge and would like to dabble in ECC work part time - this may be the perfect position for you. We are looking for 2 nurses who are able to commit to between 4-6 set shifts each fortnight with the capacity to pick up extra shifts here and there if desirable.
