Independent Practice | High-Performing Team | Genuine Professional Development.

Location: Park Ridge Animal Hospital & Browns Plains Surgery.

Hours: Flexible – Full Time or Part Time.

Remuneration: $35.34 per Hour - dependent on experience.

Are you the kind of nurse who enjoys working collaboratively, loves the buzz of surgery, and finds joy in helping clients care for their pets?

Would you thrive surrounded by a team that genuinely cares about the patients, the people, and each other?

If you’re nodding, Park Ridge Animal Hospital might be your kind of clinic.

With two practices, a diverse caseload and a team of more than 50 people, we can offer the clinical variety and resources of a larger hospital while retaining the culture and personal approach of an independently owned practice.

💪 What You’ll Be Doing:

Nurse Consults: Synovan injections, SR12s, post-op checks, nail trims, anal glands, preventative healthcare and triage
Surgical Nursing: Anaesthetics for routine, complex, and emergency cases with training in capnography, ECGs, CRIs as well as dental radiography and routine dental care.
Medical Nursing: From the straightforward to the “how is this patient still alive?” cases and everything in between.
Client Communication: Educating, supporting, and building trust with pet owners to help clients feel confident in the care their pets are receiving.
Veterinarian Support: Be their right hand, their left hand, and occasionally their brain…

🌟 What We Offer:

A positive, values-driven culture where humour, respect, trust, and teamwork are lived daily
We're an independently owned and operated practice, allowing us to make decisions locally and focus on what works for our patients, clients and team.
A large, supportive team of 51 (including customer care, nurses, vets, kennel assistants, and a cleaner—yes, really)
Two locations to mix up your week: a larger hospital in Park Ridge and a smaller surgery in Browns Plains
Structured systems and documented procedures so you’re never left guessing
All the gear: ultrasound, dental x-rays, capnograph, infusion pumps, patient heating, and more
Flexible hours: we are open to both full-time and part-time applicants, with positions available up to 38 hours per week and approximately one weekend in six. We're happy to discuss what working arrangement suits you!

Mentoring, check-ins, and CPD

We want our nurses to continue developing throughout their careers and not simply repeat the skills they already have.

You'll have access to ongoing mentoring, regular check-ins, continuing professional development and opportunities to build your clinical confidence and knowledge.

🐶 Who You Are:
