Albert Park and Elwood Vets, Inner South Melbourne, VIC
Veterinary Nurse - Full Time
Fancy joining our team?
We are a two-site veterinary practice - Elwood Vet and Albert Park Vet located in Melbourne with highly skilled practitioners, including membership holders in small animal surgery, small animal medicine and emergency medicine.
When we took over the practices in 2017, we aimed to create a different sort of practice… one that didn’t just have capable skilled vets with cool tools, but one that made you feel good when you walked through the door. One where you could have open and honest discussions about your pet with people who listened to you and valued your opinion. And one that didn’t charge you for every little thing - the sort of practice we’d take our pets to if we weren’t vets.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and passionate nurse to join our caring, friendly team in delivering exceptional care to our wonderful clients and their pets.
WHO ARE YOU?
You’re a top person who:
- Has a Cert IV VN qualification (or has equivalent transferable skills/in-clinic experience) with at least 2 years clinical experience - this is not a trainee position.
- Has a professional, positive, compassionate and enthusiastic attitude
- Is passionate about patient care and an advocate for best practice
- Is able to adapt in a dynamic work environment and is a proactive team player
- Has a willingness to learn and an interest in continuing education
You’ll be required to perform:
- Patient admissions and discharges
- Patient care including IV catheter placement, taking blood, medicating patients
- Anaesthetic monitoring and patient recoveries
- Surgical and non-surgical assisting of vets
- Reception duties
- Cattery duties at Albert Park – cuddles and TLC (as well as the obligatory cleaning bit)
If this sounds like you or you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you!
