Veterinary dermatology is unique amongst referral disciplines in fostering long-term relationships with clients and patients. It’s less about fixing our patients and sending them on their way, and more about managing their issues so that they and their owners can live their best lives.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER
- Part-time and Full-time position available
- The opportunity to work with internationally renowned leaders in veterinary dermatology
- Training in dermatology specific diagnostic techniques

- CO2 and diode lasers
- MRI and CT
- Video-otoscopy
- The ability to hone your communication skills during nurse specific consultations
- An above award wage commensurate with experience
- A four-day working week once probationary and training periods are complete
- No out of hours work
WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE ROLE
- An enthusiasm for learning, and an understanding that there’s still a lot we don’t know
- The flexibility to move from one aspect of the role to another, and then back again
- Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing
- A high level of competency in all areas of Veterinary Nursing, gained through a minimum of 2 years full-time as a qualified nurse
- Excellent communication skills to enhance our reputation with clients and referring vets alike
- A clean driving licence as travel to various centres in south-east Queensland is required
- An open-mindedness about what the role of a veterinary nurse is and can be
