Are you the kind of nurse who thrives when trusted with real responsibility?

Looking for a permanent role where your skills are valued and your voice is heard?

A client we are representing is seeking a Senior Veterinary Nurse to join their award-winning, independently owned group of three small animal hospitals in the Greater Springfield region.

And fair warning… joining this team may result in never wanting to leave.

About the Practice

This is not just another clinic.

With three hospitals, this group has built a reputation for gold-standard medicine, long-term team retention, and genuinely supportive leadership.

Their motto, Excellence with Heart, isn’t a tagline. It’s how they practise medicine, lead teams, and care for patients.

They are also proudly home to Queensland’s first accredited carbon-neutral veterinary practice and donate 1% of turnover to environmental initiatives.

The Opportunity

This is a full-time, permanent Senior Veterinary Nurse position within a highly respected and stable team.

You will step into a well-supported environment where senior nurses are trusted to take ownership, contribute to clinical decisions, and positively influence culture.

The roster includes shifts across the three hospital sites, within operating hours of 7am–9pm.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be a key clinical pillar within the hospital, trusted to:

• Work closely with veterinarians to deliver seamless patient care

• Advocate for patients using strong clinical judgement

• Assist with examinations, surgery and procedures

• Run nurse consults and educate owners on preventative and post-treatment care

• Support and mentor junior team members

• Contribute positively to culture and uphold core values

This is a role where your experience is valued and utilised to its full potential.

What We’re Looking For

• Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing (or equivalent)

• Strong surgical and medical nursing skills

• High emotional intelligence and excellent communication

• Ability to work across the three hospital sites

• Confidence using computer systems

• Experience with Ascend, Smartflow, VetCheck and IDEXX machines is beneficial

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive salary

• Employer of Choice accredited leadership

• Excellent staff retention (many team members have been with the practice for over 15 years)

• Ongoing CPD and structured development

• Staff EAP and dedicated in-house wellness support

• Modern, well-equipped facilities

• Regular team appreciation initiatives

• A workplace that balances heart, practicality and long-term sustainability

If you are looking for a permanent role in a practice that protects its culture and invests in its people, this is a strong opportunity to consider.
