Seaton Vet Centre, North West Adelaide SA (posted 7th August)
Seaton Vet Centre are looking for a professional, passionate, and experienced Cert 4 qualified Vet Nurse to join our team.
Due to us having a few trainees and interns on the team already, we are looking for a Full-time Experienced Vet Nurse who can come in and hit the ground running!
You can look forward to:
- A supportive, welcoming team environment
- Vets and nurses working synergistically
- We actively acknowledge, avoid and address burn-out and take the mental health of our staff incredibly seriously
- No on-call, overnight or public holiday work
- Flexibility and a work-life balance
- Management who actually care about the people, not the sales (NO up-selling or sales KPI’s to worry about!)
- We are extraordinarily proud of our work culture. The first thing that people hear when stepping into the practice is usually laughter!
We pride ourselves on providing the highest standards of nursing care, to both the patient and the client. If you are motivated, caring, energetic and ready to learn new skills, there is an opportunity for you to join our fantastic team of bubbly personalities!
Nursing duties involve all aspects of the veterinary practice, including reception, surgical nursing, hospitalization, radiography, ultrasonography, pathology and Puppy School if you're interested (no Puppy School duties if you're not interested).
We are a fast-paced, all-go clinic and see a mix of different companion animals, including exotic and pocket pets, so it is a great opportunity for you to expand your nursing skills and learning. We have a moderate to high surgery load and high standards, so experience in monitoring anaesthetics for high-risk patients, confidence with surgical nursing, ability to multi-task and strong passion for patient care is a must.
We use RxWorks (practice management software), SmartFlow (inpatient software) and Deputy (rostering software). Experience with using any of these is favourable, though not a prerequisite.
Our Opening Hours:
Monday - Friday: 8am to 7pm
Saturday: 8am to 2pm

The Role:
We're seeking a part-time nurse (25–36 hours/week) who's confident in all aspects of GP nursing - from surgical support and hospital care to client education and nurse consults. You'll be working alongside a passionate veterinary team in a hands-on role where your contributions truly matter.
What You'll Find Here:
✔ A deeply connected clinic with strong roots in our local community
✔ No weekends, no late evenings - just consistent weekday shifts

✔ We're structured a little differently - intentionally. Everyone here has a unique role, and while leadership might look different to what you're used to, we value mutual respect, shared goals, and trust in each other's strengths.
We're working hard to build something strong, sustainable, and supportive - a place where people want to show up, contribute, and grow together. If you're someone who understands the ups and downs of clinic life, enjoys being part of a collaborative environment, and wants to play a meaningful part in something evolving - we'd love to hear from you.
