We are a new practice that is expanding and empowering nurses to participate more and more in assisting our vets to get through their workload (take blood, insert IV catheters, intubate, dental scale & polish, and plenty more).

Inner Melbourne Western suburbs

Maribyrnong/Avondale Heights Veterinary Hospitals are seeking 1-2 Veterinary Nurses to join our family as contracted part time or casual, with the option of 35-38 hours per week also available in the future. The position will be based at both Veterinary Hospitals and will involve weekend work. The 2 positions are replacing one staff member going overseas to work, and another taking on full time work at a specialist practice – you can talk to both who will tell you all about us! Whilst experience is desired, it is not essential.

We consist of 2 small animal clinics located 5km and 10km west of Melbourne respectively, seeing mainly dogs and cats, but also approximately 5% pocket pets - rabbits/guinea pigs/ferrets/birds/reptiles. Our team currently consists of 21 Veterinary nurses and 11 Veterinarians working a mixture of part time, casual and full-time hours.

Approximately 10 of our current nurses have jobs at other Veterinary practices, or in retail/hospitality, and the positions would best suit someone in a similar position. We forecast our rosters 4 weeks in advance for blocks of 6-8 weeks which allows the flexibility our staff require for their busy lives. The jobs we offer cater for staff members who like either stability of set shifts/days, or flexibility varying with each published set roster period. Staff know their assigned shifts well in advance for extended periods, and are also able to pick up additional shifts at shorter notice if convenient and depending on mutual availability.

We are open 7 days a week, and have a busy and well supported workplace. We offer a "no politics" working environment, and are focussed on doing our very best for our staff, clients and of course the pets. We have an external payroll officer, as well as internal and external consultant HR.
