Are you looking to work in a genuinely mixed practice that provides a very high level of care to its patients and offers best-practice options?

An exciting opportunity is available for a veterinary nurse to join this privately-owned country practice on a permanent basis.

Join a large modern practice with small and large animal facilities. The practice currently employs eight vets and twelve vet nurses.

New graduate and experienced nurses are welcome to apply. The role is full-time. Applicants must have a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, or the equivalent to this that is recognised in Australia.
