Concord Veterinary Hospital, Inner West Sydney (posted 7th April)
Our team is growing – so we are on the lookout for a veterinary nurse to join us! We are a busy, well established small animal veterinary hospital in Sydney’s Inner West – with a strong patient focus. We have long believed that if we take care of our patients, everything else takes care of itself.
About the role:
This role can be adapted to suit our ideal candidate. Are you a junior nurse looking to take a few steps up in your career? Are you already experienced but want to try something different – in a role that will challenge your skills? Or have you recently qualified, or soon to qualify, and are looking for your first role within the industry?
We all know there are some great parts about veterinary nursing (placing IV’s, being involved with challenging anaesthetics, seeing unwell patients go home well) and some less-great parts (“someone has done something in this room I can smell it… oh, there it is… and he has walked through it…”, watching families having to say goodbye to their beloved pet, the difficult client at reception) – but by far and away this role is about having a positive impact on the lives of your patients.
You are our eyes and ears – and as a result we rely heavily on you to improve outcomes for our patients. Our vets actively listen to nurses – never discounting what you have to say. There is no “us-vs-them” attitude at Concord Veterinary Hospital – because after all, who are the ones spending the most time with our patients? Who are the ones who pick up that every time we offer Fluffy some chicken, she lip smacks and turns her head? Who notices that little bit of extra blood in a patient’s surgical recovery cage? Who notices the MAP has been dropping steadily for the last 10 minutes of anaesthesia?
The veterinary nursing role at Concord Veterinary Hospital is less about the “role”, and more about the goal of improving the welfare of all our patients. Attitude always trumps aptitude – and this role can be tailored if the candidate-to-clinic is a good match.
