Full-Time Vet Nurse/Receptionist (Job No 223,695LW)

Vetlink Employment Service • Permanent • Northern Suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia • 1m ago

A dermatology-only clinic in Melbourne's north-western suburbs is looking for an experienced vet nurse to join their team in a combined veterinary reception, administration and nursing role. This position would particularly suit someone with strong reception, administration and organisational skills who enjoys keeping a clinic running smoothly behind the scenes.

Administration and reception make up approximately 80% of the role, so previous experience and confidence in these areas are important. The position involves managing calls and bookings, front-of-house responsibilities, inventory management, medication ordering and helping to maintain a well-organised clinic environment. The veterinary nursing component includes duties such as consult nursing, surgical support, blood collection, sedation preparation, client education and owner training in at-home treatment protocols.

This is a full-time position of approximately 34-38 hours per week, worked across Monday to Thursday only. There are no Fridays, weekends or after-hours required, offering a four-day working week with a consistent schedule.

The clinic sees complex, long-term dermatology cases, giving the successful applicant the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with clients and their pets over time. This is a sole-charge environment, so the ability to work independently, stay organised and confidently manage the administrative and reception demands of the clinic is essential.

The role suits a vet nurse with at least one year of clinical experience who also brings strong administration and reception skills. Salary is negotiable depending on skills and experience. The clinic is focused on finding the right long-term fit and is not in a rush to hire.

Melbourne's north-western suburbs offer a relaxed pace of life with access to green spaces, local cafés and established communities, while remaining well connected to the wider city.
