Toowong Family Vet is hiring! We're an inner-city Brisbane clinic, minutes from the CBD, working from a brand-new custom-built hospital located next door to cafés, food outlets and a gym.
We are looking for an experienced veterinary nurse who takes genuine pride in providing a consistently high standard of patient care, and we are willing to pay generously for the right person.
This position would suit someone who understands that excellent nursing is often found in the details: carefully checking anaesthetic machines and breathing circuits, closely monitoring patients, noticing subtle changes, completing tasks thoroughly, and promptly bringing any concerns to the attention of the attending veterinarian.
Our established nursing team is conscientious, observant and highly invested in the wellbeing of every patient. We are looking for someone who shares those standards and who appreciates working in an environment where colleagues respectfully help one another maintain them.
The Postion:
This is a full-time role consisting of four 9.5-hour shifts per week, allowing for three days off each week.
There are:
No regularly rostered Saturdays
No Sundays
No after-hours work
On rare occasions, assistance on a Saturday may be requested if one of our weekend veterinary nurses is unwell or on leave.
You will always be rostered alongside other veterinary nurses and veterinarians, with colleagues available to assist, discuss cases and share the workload.
What matters to us:
At Toowong Family Vet, we love what we do, but we also take our responsibility for patient care very seriously. We value nurses who:
- Are thorough, observant and dependable
- Maintain high standards even during busy periods
- Check equipment and completed tasks carefully
- Monitor hospitalised and anaesthetised patients closely
- Speak up promptly when something does not appear right
- Respond positively to respectful feedback
- Support their colleagues and contribute to a calm, professional workplace
- Treat patients, clients and fellow team members with kindness and respect
We are proud to have a team culture in which people communicate directly and respectfully, help one another and do not engage in workplace gossip. Preserving that supportive environment is very important to us.
Experience:
This position is for an experienced veterinary nurse only. Applicants should be confident working in a busy small-animal general practice and capable of contributing reliably across consulting, hospital, surgical and procedural nursing duties.
Remuneration:
We are willing to offer generous remuneration, negotiated according to experience and demonstrated capability, for the right nurse who can provide the level of care, reliability and attention to detail we are seeking.
We are prepared to take the time to find the right person for our team.
Please include your CV and a brief introduction outlining your veterinary nursing experience in your application.
