Concord Veterinary Hospital, Inner West Sydney (posted 30th May)
Veterinary Nurse - Full Time
We are growing and expanding again! Concord Veterinary Hospital is looking for a full time Veterinary Nurse who will fit well into our busy small animal practice in Sydney’s Inner West. We currently employ eight veterinarians, eleven veterinary nurses, an assistant manager, hospital manager and four veterinary students.
We are looking to expand our consultation rooms, add an additional wet prep/dentistry room and 2024 is the year of the CT Suite – which we are very excited about. So yet again – we need to grow out team.
The position involves a mixture of private practice and, via our longstanding affiliation with the Cat Protection Society of NSW – shelter medicine and surgery. A full Cat Protection Society rescue wing runs alongside the private hospital giving us great opportunities to perform procedures the majority of small animal clinics do not perform, as well as exposure to unique and complex medical cases.
Our team culture is very important to us and we take mental health very seriously. We hire for a great team fit first, and clinic skills second.
What we can offer you:
- No weekend work
- Our clinic hours are 8am – 6pm on weekdays (no more closing at 7pm – 8pm!)
- Above award salary – our senior nurses (many of whom have been with us for over 5 years) are paid well above award. Salary is initially commensurate with experience and reviewed regularly.
- We are a very busy practice with a high caseload – so you will be working in a fast-paced environment with an abundance of medical and surgical cases
- Your mental health is you wealth: $1500 mental health “bonus” paid annually (payable after 6 months of employment) to spend on psychology services or gym memberships.
- This is in place of an EAP program – which in the past – current employees did not find particularly useful. This very unique Mental Health Allowance enables you to select your own therapist; or for those that do not require regular psychology sessions – this can be used for gym memberships (for example) as we know physical activity is just as good for the mind
- Continuing education actively encouraged and fully financially supported
- Strong alliance with the Cat Protection Society of NSW – giving a great mix of private practice and shelter medicine
- A workplace with a seriously twisted sense of humour and great banter (The most important part for most of us!). Those who take themselves too seriously probably won’t fit in with us
- Let’s be honest – there are some average parts of a veterinary nursing role (answering phones, reception duties and cleaning out cages/runs when patients are discharged – however we want our nurses to do the fun stuff too, e.g. more clinical work. Think – blood draws, intravenous catheter placement, premedication and sedation, induction of general anaesthesia including intubation, performing radiographs under veterinary supervision, dental radiographs and prophylactic dental procedures.
- We are immensely proud that at Concord Veterinary Hospital – we do not have an us vs. them attitude between the veterinarians and the veterinary nurses. We are a team and we actively rely on you as our eyes and ears. We will listen to and consider your ideas and opinions with respect. When we have time – we actively discuss cases with our nurses.
What our ideal candidate might look like:
- High emotional intelligence
- Excellent work ethic
- A passion for animal welfare
- The ability to work in a busy environment and adapt between different roles as the roster dictates
- Be aligned with our mission statement – to provide personalised, compassionate and consistent veterinary care to all of our patients – be they private patients or via our rescue and shelter channels
- A great sense of humour
- Recently qualified or soon to be completed Certificate IV in veterinary nursing are actively encouraged to apply. We do not need you to have multiple years of experience – all we ask is that you have an excellent work ethic, willing to learn and are passionate about what you do.
Concord Veterinary Hospital has three consulting rooms, two pharmacy/laboratories, IDEXX Procyte, Catalyst and Sedivue, two new surgical suites, dedicated surgical prep room and treatment/hospital room with a wet table. We are equipped with two IM3 Dental machines, two IM3 dental radiography systems, entire suite of dental equipment, digital x-ray (DR), brand new ultrasound machine, multiple anaesthetic machines, ValleyLab Ligasure system, IV fluid pumps and syringe drivers, and high quality anaesthetic monitoring equipment that monitors pressure monitoring, ETCO2, SPO2, HR, RR and temperature with every anaesthetic machine. We also have a Parkes doppler, blood transfusion equipment and ophthalmic equipment including tonovet and voroteks. In the future we are looking to add an additional consultation room, wet prep/dental room and a full CT suite.
