Experienced Veterinary Nurse Wanted | Hilton Vet Centre | Full-time

Are you an experienced vet nurse looking for a clinic where the team culture is just as important as the medicine?

Hilton Vet Centre is searching for a full-time Experienced Veterinary Nurse to join our incredibly fun, supportive, and fast-growing team.

Let's get the important questions out of the way first:

Now for the part we're most proud of…

Our Hilton team is a young, enthusiastic, learning-focused group who genuinely love coming to work. Some days are busy, productive, and honestly… everyday is a bit of a vibe. ✨

This isn't a clinic where everyone has 20 years of experience behind them. It's a team that has learned to step up, back each other, and keep developing together. We're already doing all the things – surgery, anaesthetics, dentals, inpatient care, nurse consults, and the unexpected moments that make vet nursing what it is.

We've worked really hard to build a culture that is:

As our experienced nurse, you'll bring valuable knowledge and confidence to the team, share your learnings naturally, and be part of a group that loves to keep improving. You won't be responsible for managing or carrying everyone else's development – we're looking for a teammate, not a trainer.

If you're someone who enjoys working with motivated people, thrives in a collaborative environment, and wants to be part of a clinic where the culture has been intentionally built and fiercely protected, we'd love to hear from you.

We're incredibly proud of the team we have today. It wasn't easy to get here, and we don't take it for granted. 🐶🐱

WHAT WE OFFER

INTERESTED?

Send us your resume and a short cover letter telling us a little about yourself, what you enjoy about veterinary nursing, and why you think Tea Tree Gully Veterinary Hospital might be the right fit for you.

We're proud to be one of regional South Australia's leading mixed animal practices, caring for everything from beloved family pets to livestock that support local families and businesses.

Every day is different.

One moment you'll be monitoring an anaesthetic, the next helping a worried family through a difficult decision, assisting with an emergency, supporting our veterinarians in surgery, or caring for a hospital patient that needs a little extra attention.

It's the variety that keeps every day interesting.

More importantly...

It's the people that make us special.

We've worked hard to build a culture where kindness comes naturally, teamwork isn't just something written on the wall, and everyone is respected for what they bring to the practice.

Because life is too short to spend it working somewhere you don't enjoy coming to each morning.

Our Kind of Veterinary Nurse...

...treats every patient as if they were their own.

...doesn't wait for problems—they prevent them.

...is the calm voice when clients are anxious.

...knows that great nursing is often invisible because the little things are done so well.

...is curious enough to keep learning and humble enough to know there's always more to learn.

...understands that medicine heals patients, but compassion heals families.

...believes that excellence isn't something you switch on when someone is watching—it's simply how you work.

What You'll Find Here

We know that great veterinary nurses don't stay because of free coffee.

They stay because they're respected.

Because they're encouraged to grow.

Because they're trusted.

Because they laugh with their teammates every day.

Because they know they're making a genuine difference.

That's the kind of workplace we've worked hard to build.

And we're looking for someone who wants to help make it even better.
