Your Role
You’ll work in a dynamic, respectful team where:
- Nurses are highly valued for their clinical insight and patient care
- You’ll contribute to case planning, complex anaesthesia, and advanced monitoring
- You’ll enjoy support and mentoring, or lead and guide others if that’s your passion
We're seeking:
- A Cert IV-qualified veterinary nurse (or equivalent)
- At least 3 years’ experience in a busy hospital, ECC, or referral setting
- Someone confident, collaborative, and committed to excellent patient care
What You’ll Love
✓ A 4-day working week (max)
✓ A stimulating, challenging caseload — no two days the same
✓ Salary of $65,000–$80,000 FTE depending on experience
✓ Continuing education allowance and in-house training
✓ Employee Assistance Program and generous staff pet discounts
✓ Coffee runs, snacks, and a genuinely supportive team culture
Sound like the right fit?
