  • Supporting both the companion animal and equine sides of the clinic.

What’s on Offer

  • Accommodation provided for drive-in/drive-out candidates or for the first 3–6 months if relocating.
  • A supportive and collaborative team environment.
  • Access to ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities.

About You
The ideal candidate will possess:

  • Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, Veterinary Technician qualification, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong nursing skills, with the ability to mentor and support colleagues.
  • A positive attitude and commitment to contributing to a thriving workplace culture.
  • Interest or experience in equine nursing is highly valued.

Benefits
This role comes with a range of perks, including:

  • Generous staff discounts for your own pets.
  • Membership to VNCA and support for AVNAT registration.
  • Access to continuing education through VetEducation webinars.
  • Additional leave benefits, including wellness leave and paid volunteer leave.
