We are looking for a confident, qualified Veterinary Nurse to work full time 5 days a week with no after-hours requirements. Experience is preferred; however, if you are an enthusiastic new grad with a willingness to learn, you are also welcome to apply, as full training will be given. We pride ourselves on getting our nurses to do as much as possible and expanding their skillset.

- We also work alongside a Veterinary Analgesia and Anaesthesia Specialist as needed
- With only two vets and five nurses, we are a highly collaborative team where you can truly make a difference
