Are you looking for a nursing role where you can rotate through hospital, surgery and consulting? Would you enjoy joining a team that values learning, teamwork and compassionate patient care?

I’m recruiting an experienced Veterinary Nurse for a clinic in Malanda on the Atherton Tablelands.

With a varied clinical workload and flexibility around working days, this is an opportunity to put your nursing skills to use while continuing to develop.

The opportunity

• Permanent part-time position, ideally four days per week.

• Flexible arrangements or a shared role may be possible if four days doesn’t suit.

• $27–$35 per hour, depending on experience.

• Working hours of 8am–5pm, with a 30-minute lunch break.

• Some Saturday morning work may be required.

• Additional shifts may be available to cover staff absences.

A varied nursing role

You’ll rotate through hospital, surgery and consulting, with responsibilities including:

• Caring for hospital patients, monitoring clinical signs, administering medications and keeping owners updated.

• Admitting surgical patients, preparing theatre, monitoring anaesthesia and supporting recovery.

• Providing discharge advice and explaining post-operative care to clients.

• Assisting with diagnostic procedures, radiographs, pathology samples and in-house testing.

• Supporting clients with advice on nutrition, parasite control and preventative healthcare.

• Maintaining high standards of hygiene, organisation and biosecurity.

You’ll also be trained to assist reception when needed, although this is not a routine part of the position.

About you

• An experienced Veterinary Nurse with a Certificate II or Certificate IV qualification.

• A caring, approachable manner with patients, clients and colleagues.

• Experience supporting hospital patients and surgical procedures.

• A practical approach to solving problems and a willingness to help your team.
