At Alma Street Veterinary Hospital, we believe being a great veterinary nurse is about more than technical skills. It’s about being part of a team that genuinely supports one another, takes pride in patient care and enjoys coming to work.

We are looking for a qualified Veterinary Nurse (Cert IV or equivalent) to join our busy and growing small animal hospital in Rockhampton.

Why Alma Street?

We are a large, progressive small animal hospital with 14 veterinarians and a strong nursing and support team. We see a diverse caseload every day, including routine medicine and surgery through to complex, critical and referral-level cases.

The hospital is owned and operated by Greg and Kate, who remain actively involved in the practice and work alongside the team every day.

We have built a workplace where people are encouraged to contribute ideas, ask questions, learn from each other and support their colleagues. We work hard, but we also believe that enjoying your workplace and the people you work with matters.

What you could be doing

Your role can be shaped around your interests and experience, with opportunities across:

Anaesthetic monitoring and surgical nursing
Inpatient and critical patient care
Blood collection and in-house laboratory work
Radiography, ultrasound and endoscopy
Medical treatments and hospital nursing
Client communication and patient discharges
Working closely with our veterinary and nursing teams
A varied small animal caseload that can include exotic, wildlife and referral cases

Whether surgery is your passion, you love hospital nursing, or you enjoy having a bit of everything in your day, there is plenty of scope to develop your skills.

What we offer

Our employment package includes:

$32–$35 per hour, depending on experience
Additional earning opportunities through our after-hours and on-call roster
4-day working week with a proper lunch break
Paid CPD and strong support for professional development
Paid conference leave, including travel and accommodation
Temporary accommodation available initially for candidates relocating
A friendly, collaborative workplace with excellent staff retention
A large and experienced team providing plenty of opportunities to learn

And then there’s Rockhampton...

If you’re considering a move to regional Queensland, Rockhampton offers a fantastic lifestyle without the cost, traffic and pace of a major city.

You can be at the beautiful beaches of Yeppoon or Emu Park in around 30 minutes, with the Keppel Islands on your doorstep for weekends of snorkelling, hiking and exploring.

There are also plenty of cafés, restaurants, sporting clubs, mountain biking and hiking trails, cinemas and shopping options to keep you busy.

And when you need a city escape, Brisbane is only a short flight away.

Could this be your next move?

If you’re a veterinary nurse who wants to be part of a team where patient care matters, want to continue developing your skills and enjoy variety, we’d love to hear from you.
